Shadow

to the tune of “Shadow” by Ashlee Simpson

I was 10 years old
When I met my best friend, Harry
We met a girl
Her name was Hermione
We learned about a stone
It was called the Sorcerer’s Stone
I got beaten up, in a game of wizard chess.

Somebody listen, please
I was shoved aside constantly

CHORUS:
Living in the shadow
Of my best friend, Harry
Trying to get some attention,
but he always got it instead of me
He had these nightmares
Everyone got worried
I’m okay with it
But I wish it were me
Some attention, please

Then the next year,
he come to my house.
This Riddle guy
controlled my sis
she liked Harry.
Oh, he beat the snake and Riddle
and saved everyone
But I guess I was just his sidekick.

So if you’re listening
It’s really hard to have a famous best friend

CHORUS:
Living in the shadow
Of my best friend, Harry
Trying to get some attention,
but he always got it instead of me
He had these nightmares
Everyone got worried
I’m okay with it
But I wish it were me
Some attention, please

Mother, Father, Brother,
I have a huge family
Brother, Brother, Brother,
And we’re so dirt poor
Brother, Sister, Harry Potter
But I love them all the same

Now and then we fight
Thanks to my jealousy
Hermione gets back together, sometime, eventually

Harry helped Voldemort
get his body back
Now we all are really scared
He won the Tri- contest
But he feels so guilty
About Cedric
Dying
Cedric
was supposed
to win

Now the Order of the Phoenix is back together
We’re fighting the bad guys
One day at a time
(My best friend is Harry Potter)
