After All This Time
[Chorus]
Harry's no longer the boy under the staircase
I grew up as well, but I did it my own way
I never stopped believing in his magic so sublime
And Harry's been by my side, after all this time

[Verse 1]
I was seven years old, I stole my brother's big book
I read about a school of magic and I was immediately hooked
He never found out I read his books late at night
Until I started yelling spells at him when we had a fight

[Chorus]
Harry's no longer the boy under the staircase
I grew up as well, but I did it my own way
I never stopped believing in his magic so sublime
And Harry's been by my side, after all this time

[Verse 2]
I was twelve years old, and I wasn't the cool kid
I didn't like what the others liked, I just couldn't do it
Mister Potter was my sweet escape, I just told myself
Being popular is not as cool as reading 'bout house elfs

[Chorus]
Harry's no longer the boy under the staircase
I grew up as well, but I did it my own way
I never stopped believing in his magic so sublime
And Harry's been by my side, after all this time

[Verse 3]
I was sixteen years old, the last movie came out
I could only eat pizza to keep me from crying out loud
My heart was broken, my mind was scared
I didn't want this to end, I just wasn't prepared

[Chorus]
Harry's no longer the boy under the staircase
I grew up as well, but I did it my own way
I never stopped believing in his magic so sublime
And Harry's been by my side, after all this time

[Verse 4]
I'm nineteen years old, and Harry's still with me
Whenever I feel lost, I just pick up a book and read
I know the magic'll never leave me , it's way too strong
Harry lives on in all of us, he'll never be gone

[Chorus]
Harry's no longer the boy under the staircase
I grew up as well, but I did it my own way
I never stopped believing in his magic so sublime
And Harry's been by my side, after all this time
