Secrets, codes, and spies.

They all just add up to lies.

I bet you didn't expect that from me.

I didn't mean to turn my back,

Didn't mean for my heart to turn black.

Oh, if I had only seen...

What uttering that awful word would do,

Take me forever away from you.

I would never have done it, I swear.

But its much too late to think of that,

Of mistakes I have made in my past.

Because your gone, and its almost too much to bear.

Your son has your eyes,

He's someone I've come to despise.

Because he reminds me far too much of you.

Lily, Lily, can you forgive me?

You don't know how sorry I am.

To see your smile I would do anything.

Without you I'm a broken man.

I'm protecting your son, like Dumbledore said.

I don't mind, I don't want him dead.

I'd do it even if he hadn't told me to.

I'd do it for you.

I've come to accept,

That I probably won't make it out of this war.

I've come to expect,

No forgiveness from you if I'm dead and find myself at your door.

Please, please, prove me wrong.

I love you, Lily.
