Harry Potter & The Dangers Of Being A Hero

by Small Folk

1.
So seldom thought and thought alone Could lead us safe and straight to home These many metres you have grown Oh yes you grow, oh, oh, oh, oh So rare it is to face a task On which the best have left their mark A lock without a key or shaft For it to oh oh open For it to oh oh open CHORUS: Before you know it you'll be in the air once more And settle grudges when you're set to set the score Nobody here could know this Devil any more Except for you oo oo ooh So tell me now and tell me quick Before the beaters break our necks So is it gold, or just a speck In front of you oo oo ooh CHORUS 2: And in that second we see it's lightning all along We're never sure exactly what is going on Nobody here could sing that Devil of a song Except for you oo oo ooh

Dress it up just how you want There's not a thing you Can hide from me anymore I know your mind Trace it back to the start You want to go back there So do I, in some ways (There's no rewind) CHORUS 1: And you don't know the half of it Dreading the moments when you Steal a glimpse of happiness when no one's watching you There's no one watching now CHORUS 2: And you don't know the half of it Screaming in silence and still There is no heart inside your chest You give in so easy like me Dress it up just how you want Your arrogance triggers my skin To crawl right off my aching frame You're just like him Strutting round the rooms with friends I'm doing my best to contain The dangers left by everything They left behind

After all this time, always yours though you were never mine After all this time, hiding what I felt deep down inside So it chokes me up, that you don't know how I felt And it breaks me up, that I can't live and forget And when it wakes me up, these nightmares filling my bed Whisper just one word, so I can believe what I said After all this time, playing roles and keeping myself from the light In the back of my mind, the reasons that I've done this for all this time If all I do is bring a little piece of peace to you If all I do is bring a little safety to your view After all's been said, there's a little more I'd like to say

Look at those eyes They're looking everywhere Except in my way Look at those eyes Look at that heart It's big enough to live But who has it's keys? Look at that heart If only, if only, you'd see what I can see There's something very special about our chemistry Your eyes would finally see We'll see, maybe Look at those eyes The rolling of days We haven't yet lived Look at those eyes Look at that heart Could leave a hole in mine I'd never forget That beautiful heart You're clever, very clever but not enough to see That I've been patient waiting in silent secrecy If only, yeah if only, your eyes could stop and see Into me, maybe CHORUS: I need you Over and under and through and through I need you Tell me what do I have to say or do Just to get these emotions through to you (But in the end, we'll all lose you) Look at my eyes They're dark and hard to read But I'm not a book To look at with eyes Look at my heart It may seem black and cold But in it there's love Hidden inside There's secrets, and these secrets can breed in secrecy The picture's, left unfinished, until the end's revealed If only, yeah if only, the love that I still feel Could breathe, maybe Look at those eyes They're looking everywhere but never at me

No one ever said a nice thing about me Til you came round and turned the whole world on it's head Nothing ever seemed so pretty or surprising Til you came round and turned the whole world on it's head And it's amazing that a tiny little kindness Could make a lot difference to a tiny little person But no one ever saw the loyalty inside me Til you came round and treaded me with fairness and with love I'm sorry that I tried to stop you coming back from Christmas And I'm sorry that I dropped that cake on all those awful visitors And honestly I've got to say, I'm sorry for the bludgers But I really thought you would be better off with hopeless muggles

I see monsters, I see heroes, I see what we do It's a riddle, in the middle, I see me and you One step closer to knowing what these crazy visions mean One step closer to knowing when I'll finally get to breathe Rain is gentle, on these buildings, fading memories blue Tiny pictures, getting smaller, till they fade from view One step closer to working out these crazy quirky dreams One step closer to guessing where this twisting path might lead Tell me your secrets, I swear I won't tell Lend me your creatures, and I'll bake them like bread Tell me your secrets, I promise I'll stay away Stay away If I owned a bakery I would make you anything you dreamed
7.
And it's so hard to find someone to trust But I trust you And it's so hard to find someone to love But I love you And it's so hard to just be strong enough But you're my strength And it's so hard to know I'm good enough But you're my faith CHORUS 1: And if these walls of mine could spare me from this pain I would build them to the sky (and) And if these fists of mine could throw away this rage I would punch on every night til dawn CHORUS 2: And if these words I find could tell me what to say I would write them on the walls and And if your dying left me strong in any way I would thank you when we meet again Everyone that I love dies some time Everyone that I love dies some times before their time
