When I fell for you, I knew you were a troublemaker,
But I was naive to think you'd spare me- I should've listened to Peter,
When he told me to suppress it, told me to hide,
Because I'd be better off safe than starry-eyed.
James told me you didn't mean it, but we both know that isn't true.
You destroyed five years of friendship with something you can never undo.
You swore that you loved me, but you tossed that aside
And had the nerve to still look at me all starry-eyed.
If you wanted to break my cold, dead heart, you've done it so well.
I showed you all my darkest secrets, let you keep me under a love-spell,
But you broke me like all your promises, and abandoned me with all your lies.
I should have known never to trust the gleaming stars in your eyes.
I howled at the moon, for my star was so terribly crossed.
The wolf looked around the Shack, confused, for there was no sign of his Black dog.
I realised what was wrong, but the wolf wasn't as wise,
So when the sun came out, the stars turned to storms in my eyes.
Overnight, I had my world turned over, distraught as I awaited my fate.
Overnight, I had lost both my lover and my best mate.
Overnight, I realised you didn't care who lives and who dies.
Overnight, I looked at you, and the stars stopped twinkling in your eyes.
Perhaps the fault is not in my star but in me,
For worshipping you so religiously.
Your reasons for destroying me, I can never quite surmise,
But I blame myself, for continuing to look at you all starry-eyed.
I miss your Bowie records in the common room,
I miss your hands around my waist, as you let me inhale your perfume.
I miss snogging on the Astronomy tower, and having all your features memorised,
I miss when you let me chart the constellations in your eyes.
My father warned me about wolves, giants, and loads of dangerous things,
But not about the basilisks dressed in lion's clothing,
I'm afraid I'll find myself completely paralysed
If I ever have to look again into your starry eyes.
You may have left the Grimmauld place, but your heart is still completely Black,
You deserve prison, but I'll get the time while you're poised for attack.
You'll never admit it, but you're a coward in disguise,
You'll just relish in the knowledge that you were once a star in my eyes.
When I fell for you, I knew you were a troublemaker,
But I was naive to think you'd spare me- I should've listened to Peter,
When he told me to suppress it, told me to hide,
Because I thought you'd keep me safe, but you left me starry-eyed.
