Disclaimer: Insert funny disclaimer for the words to almost lover and Harry Potter.
ALMOST LOVER
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes clever trick
You used to brush your fingers across mine with the trees swaying behind you. Your babysitter was half Spanish and would sing you traditional Spanish lullabies to help you sleep. You would sing them to me, your beautiful voice capturing me in the magic! I loved you.
Well I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
Then you broke up with me, I didn't know why. You were always unhappy before you met me. I thought I made you happy, just like you made me. But no. I was just a substitute until something better came along. And the better thing was her! It was always her wasn't it?
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me in the shade
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you would never ever forget these images no
We were walking along one of the busy streets of Hogmeade. It was almost Christmas! There was snow all around us, carolers singing when you took my hand and started to dance. For a few minutes it was blissful. It was like we were the only two in the world. Until your friends called you and you kissed my lips. It was sweet and tender. But loving and caring. You promised you would never you did, the very next day!
Well I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
If I go to the ocean I cry. If I fly at night I remember. Every time I wake up I only see your slap in the face. How could you? I hate you! I do I do.
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk
Right in and out of my life?
Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
So farewell Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy have fun with Rose marry her even! I don't care anymore. Except I do. I know I shouldn't but I do. You hold the key to my heart.
I'll always love you.
Love you always, your Lily flower.
