Complicated

to the tune of “Complicated” by Avril Lavigne

Chill out, why you cursin’ me?
You know I’m just a baby?
And you know you’re not proving anything if you defeat me?

We thought you’d finally gone and died,
but then you just came back to life
on the back of Quirrell’s head but don’t you fret, I’ll kill you yet.

Some people might only try to kill me once,
but that’s not enough, yeah, I bet you get a rush
I bet you think you’re cool but you look like a fool to me
tell me:

Why’d you have to go and make my life so complicated?
Snape and Malfoy hate me.
My parents are both dead and now Umbridge is tryin’ to jail me.
My life’s like this, see:
I grew up under stairs, I wear Dudley’s underwear
it is way too big, oh,
honestly just promise me you’ll never again try to face me,
no, no, no

You come to Hogwarts unannounced,
dressed up, like you’re something else
you think that we’ll just bow down at your feet, would that be neat?

I think I’ve killed you 7 times.
We are so sick of all your crimes.
Would you just go away, we have some schoolwork due today.

The Ministry of Magic all think that I’m a dunce,
Finch-Fletchy thinks I hate all the muggle-born runts,
when I try to tell the truth, well, Seamus, he just ignores me.
Tell me:

Why’d you have to go and make my life so complicated?
Snape and Malfoy hate me.
My parents are both dead and now Umbridge is trying to jail me.
My life’s like this, see:
I live under stairs, I wear Dudley’s underwear,
it was way too big, oh,
honestly just promise me you’ll never again try to face me,
no, no, no

Chill out, what you yellin’ for?
I’ve never come back to life before.
Here’s some of your own medicine, it feels great, and how’s it taste?

Looks like your Horcruxes were a waste,
and now I’ve really screwed up the place.
I bet you’re starting to think you never should have messed with me.

Your team has fallen apart, Bellatrix is in a cart.
Snape wasn’t yours he was Dumbledore’s.
The Elder Wand is mine, but I’m sure you’ll do fine without it.
Guess what:

Now I just went and made your life so complicated.
I think you’re starting
to figure it out it wasn’t me you should have berated.
Your life’s like this now:
You’ll fall and you’ll die, you won’t come back to life,
and you won’t defeat me.
Honestly, I promise you, killing me ain’t that easy,
No, no, no
