Merope's Song

There is a man I see each day who shudders as he passes my way

His eyes can bring me to my knees; my father beats me when he sees

Merope, he says, how can you look at a man who's not like you

Go clean the kitchen, you little rat, this man's blood isn't true

But what is blood when I only see beauty?

When's a muggle ever been so pure?

Oh father, brother, there is no other

He's the only one, I'm sure

One day when I am all alone I coax the man inside my home

I offer him a tasty drink and before he even has time to think

He takes my hand and we're in love, my eyes fill with tears of joy

We're married within a year; like magic I've gotten the boy

And what's a potion when I only see beauty?

And who cares if our love isn't pure?

I've finally got the one that I want

And we'll be happy for sure

For sure

But I can't take it anymore, the wonder's flowing through my head

For I cannot solve the mystery of the Riddle lying next to me in bed

He doesn't really love me, no he's just under a spell

I can't live with the guilt, so I'll just let him go

And myself as well

I stumble to a battered door

I scream, collapse I'm on the floor

I cannot breathe but I'm a mom

I touch my child and name him, Tom

But what is death when new life is created?

And Tom Marvolo looks just like him

He will redeem my honor

And when he finds his father

Tell him I'm sorry

Forgive me

Magic should be used for good
