You're Not the Wizard - Harry And The Potters

You’re not the wizard that we thought you were

A pure candy-loving magical myth

Your death is bringing out a disturbing darkness

That I kind of wish you’d been buried with

I’m hearing hearsay that you dabbled in the dark arts

And your dad maimed muggles for a good laugh

Now that you’re gone I wish I’d taken the time to ask you

About the person that you were in the past

Oh you’re not the wizard that I thought you were

I’m hearing things I’d rather have been forgot

When I asked you what you saw when you looked into the mirror

You just told me you were holding some socks

Oh what did you see in the mirror

Was it warm and wooly winter wear

Or was it the ghost of your sister

What did you see in there?

Now I’m the same age as you were then

But I’m struggle-uggle-ling to comprehend

How you could ever entertain the thought that magic is might

How being talented could give you the right

I know you were entranced by the power and slickness

Of that ambitious wizard supremacist

And it makes me so sick «the Greater Good»

So sick the things that you would do for it

Oh you’re not the wizard that I thought you were

I’m hearing things I’d rather have been forgot

That pathway to the power you sought meant means so mean

I’m still coming to terms with the shock

Now I’m seeing you in the mirror

But is it really your blue eyeball in there?

Can I trust you?

do you even care about me here

The boy who lived, do you even care?

Oh you left me a mess and some pieces of a puzzle

But I don’t even know where to start

Your bequeathals keeping us in the dark

Oh, oh, oh

And in this space I realize that there was little in me you’d confide

I don’t know if you ran out of time

Would you even tell me if you were alive?

You’re not the wizard

You’re not the wizard I thought you were

You’re not the wizard

You’re not the wizard I thought you were

You’re not the wizard

You’re not the wizard I thought you were

You’re not the wizard

You’re not the wizard I thought you were

You’re not the wizard

You’re not the wizard I thought you were

You’re not the wizard

You’re not the wizard I thought you were
