The Winner Takes It All

I don't wanna talk

About things we've gone through

Though it's hurting me

Now it's history

I've played all my cards

And that's what Potter did, too.

Nothing more to say

No more ace to play

The winner takes it all

The loser's standing small

James gets the victory

He's your destiny

He weaponized my charms,

Suspending me in mid-air.

His cruelty made no sense

But you came to my defense.

I did not want a savior,

Thinking I'd be strong there.

But I was a fool,

Saying something cruel.

I asked penance for my vice,

But you chose to excise

Your friend of five whole years

From those whom you call dear

The winner takes it all

The loser has to fall

It's simple and it's plain

Why should I complain?

Now it’s Potter you will kiss

When I never got to kiss you.

Nothing feels the same

Since I called you that name.

I regret my foolish pride,

And you must know I miss you.

But what can I say?

Some feelings cannot fade.

Lily, you will decide

The likes of me abide.

I was dealt a fatal blow,

Always feeling low.

So we are strangers, then,

Not a lover nor a friend.

After that fateful brawl

The winner takes it all

I don't wanna talk

If it makes you feel sad

And I understand

You’ll hate my Dark Lord’s brand

I apologize

That I made you feel bad

Slurs at your expense.

I’d no self-confidence

But you see…

The winner takes it all

The winner takes it all

Fadeout:

So the winner takes it all

And our friendship had to fall.

For my vice, chose to excise,

Five whole years, someone dear

He takes it all, has to fall

And it's plain, why complain?
