When I Was

There was a time when life had meaning
Not so long ago
I knew the lines, it was easy being
The star of the show
There was a time when things were fine
I could make wine from water
There was a time when I was happy
When I was Harry Potter

(Ginny talks to the diary)

There was a time when I was hopeful
When I was good inside
Everyone said that I was evil
Maybe they were right
I changed my name, I went insane
I never felt so little
I was a fool-to think they could love me
When I was Thomas Riddle

I've fallen
From up high
The world has said goodbye
I'm not an angel
Not the answer
I'm just going nowhere faster

There was a time I was a hero
But that heros gone
Looking back, I can hardly see him
Everyones moved on

Cast me aside
Throw me away
Go on, forget
Yesterday
And I'll try forgetting too
(But) I wish it was
Just like it was before

(Harry leaves Hogwarts)

I've fallen
From up high
The world has said goodbye
I'm not an angel
Not the answer
How did life become a disaster?
I'm just going nowhere faster

There was a time before I was adored by every son and daughter
There was a time when I was happy
When I was Haaaarry Potter
