How can I explain
Something I don't understand
Express how much it hurts me
To see you hand in hand

I had my chance
This is painfully true
To tell you exactly
What I feel for you

And I know you care
And you love me, as I do you
But I fear for what would happen
What they all would do

I can see your brother's perfectly
Throwing hexes to cause my pain
I can see the tears they'd make
Is that what we want to gain?

I can see my father brilliantly
Holding his wand to your chest
A vision that paralyzes me
And keeps me from my rest

So, despite what I feel inside
I give you a smug little smirk
I can see you breaking down
And I feel how much it hurts

Maybe one day things will change
Will you wait for me along the way
Because in time, we might just
Get to end the masquerade
