You'll never know/Now you know

I loved you all my life

But you will never know

I lived only to see you

Just to see you breath and grow

I was always watching over you

But I would never let my true feelings show

I guess now you'll never know

You'll never know

*

I loved you since the beginning

Acting as though you were my child

When you were asleep, I always kissed your forehead

Tender and mild

But I would never let you know that I wished you were my child

I think in away, I would never face my pain

I guess you could call it denial

But know matter how much I loved you; I just couldn't let it show

So I guess now you'll never know

You'll never know

Yes, I should have told you

How I've loved you all my life

How I wanted to cure all your pains

To say 'don't cry baby, it'll be alright'

How I watched you every night

As you fell asleep

How I always wanted to tell you

That my soul is yours to keep

How I whispered in your ear' I love you'

After you were asleep

How I wanted to tenderly hug you

When you silently cried without a peep

How I wanted to softly teach you right from wrong

Without you thinking I was a creep

How I wish I could take back

All that I've done wrong

I wish I had the chance to hold you

To hug away your pains

To make you simply realize

Nothing in life is vain

To tell you how I met your father

The first day on the Hogwarts train

To tell you how much they loved one another

And how there deaths were not in vain

To tell you that to me, you are life itself

And that you would never again face that pain

The pain of one of your loved one's leaving you

Unfortunately, I could no longer say the same

I'll always love you for all eternity, Harry

Even when you were upset, or in trouble

Or in pain

But I couldn't bring myself to tell you

How much I loved you so

So maybe I could tell you now

Watching you there, down below

But even now I just can't say it

As I fall upon my knees

What happened to the brave Sirius?

The one who said as he pleased?

Was Snape right calling me a coward?

No, it can't be so!

I need for my self to realize this

I need someone to tell

So I broke down, pathetically weeping

Tears leaked from my eyes as I began to yell

"I love you, Harry, more than my life itself

I didn't think you'd care to know!"

I died for you...not for show

But as I watch you, crying over my body

Yelling "no...it can't be so...

I never wanted you to go!"

And I never wanted to go

Maybe you did know I loved you

But...now I have to go

How I wish it wasn't so...

But now...at least now you know

Now you know
