At The Burrow, I used to dream of you and me
When I was too afraid to speak
All of that seems so foolish now
All my fears seemed so weak

I’ve missed some opportunities, but so has everyone else
And we don’t need to think about that now
I doubt if I had spoken up sooner
It would have made any difference anyhow

I just hope this isn’t the last time that I get to hold you (be careful, Harry)
I hope this isn’t the last time that you’re mine

It’s OK, I understand
Go save the day, go save the world, forget the girl
Young hearts are meant to be broken
But don’t turn back, please, don’t turn back
‘Cause I can’t say goodbye again

Standing at Dumbledore’s grave
Letting the tears fall free
But not all of them are for him
Some of them are for me

What am I gonna do without you here?
I won’t even have Hermione and Ron
Hogwarts won’t be the same again
Some of the magic has gone

I hope this isn’t the last time that I get to hold you (be careful, Harry)
I hope this isn’t the last time that you’re mine

It’s OK, I understand
Go save the day, go save the world, forget the girl
Young hearts are meant to be broken
But don’t turn back, please, don’t turn back
‘Cause I can’t say goodbye

I’m not much of a match against Voldemort
But I’ve got my own sense of style
Maybe I can make your day seem brighter
Maybe I can make you smile

I mean, Ron, he’s almost completely helpless
You can’t say he’s better than me
Take me with you, take me with you
Take me with you, please

It’s OK, I understand
Go save the day, go save the world, forget the girl, forget the girl
Young hearts are meant to be broken
But don’t turn back, please, don’t turn back
‘Cause I can’t say goodbye

I’m not, I’m not, ready for this
I’m not ready for this
I’m not, I’m not, ready for this
Ready for this
I’m ready for …

It’s OK, I understand
Go save the day, go save the world, forget the girl, forget the girl
Young hearts are meant to be broken
But don’t turn back, please, don’t turn back
‘Cause I can’t say goodbye
