Before the last teardrop falls


Severus watched , sourly , as James Potter stood proudly at the head of the aisle , waiting.
Stupid Potter , he always got what he wanted. He had gotten Lily.


If he brings you happiness
Then I wish you all the best


Lily should have been his. He treated Lily better than Potter did , but no , Potter , Quidditch team captain , Head Boy , Mr . I - Am - So - Good Potter got the only thing Snape had ever truly wanted.


It's your happiness that matters most of all


Lily came into view , and Snape's heart shattered on the floor. She looked so beautiful , and she was grinning. Grinning at James. He plastered a smile on his face , but all he wanted to do was rip the identical grin off James' face , and throw Potter off a cliff.


But if he ever breaks your heart
If a teardrop ever starts


Lily knew that he liked her. He had told her so , and she kept going with Potter. Well , I guess I am too good for her. But he wasn't. She was too good for him ; and MUCH too good for Potter.


I'll be there before the last teardrop falls


Lily finished walking up the aisle , and turned to face James , her hand in his. Snape wanted to run in and take Lily's hand. But he couldn't. He knew that.


I'll be there
Anytime you need me
By your side


Severus also knew that James would break her heart. James was a womanizer , and he would never change. However , Severus was , well what was he ? Death Eater , Excellent Potions Student , Prefect ? James was , well, what every girl wanted.


To dry away
Every teardrop that you cry


But as they started to take their vows , he turned around, not wanting to witness it. He began to walk through the crowd, knowing it was finally time to let go.


And if he ever leaves you blue
Just remember , I love you
And I'll be there before the last teardrop falls


And I'll be there before the last teardrop falls.
