Look Away
Sirius/James

you told me look away
but i would never do that, not to you
and you were screaming so loud
and your fingernails hurt my hand
but i wouldn't look away
siri, i could never do that

and when the cry rang out
you cried and laughed and asked
'10 fingers? 10 toes?'
and she was beautiful, just like her daddy
and you held her and sang
in your terrible off key voice
and i could look away
siri, i would never do that

she's 10 today, siri
she still has 10 fingers and 10 toes
she says she misses her daddy
we went to see you today
she brought you roses and a picture she drew
oh, siri, she looks just like you
and i could never look away
i would never do that
