HARRY: There was a time when life had meaning not so long ago. I knew the lines, it was easy being the star of the show. There was a time when things were fine; I could make wine from water. There was a time when I was happy- when I was Harry Potter.


TOM: There was a time when I was hopeful, when I was good inside. Everyone said that I was evil; maybe they were right. I changed my name, I went insane. I never felt so little. I was a fool to think they could love me when I was Thomas Riddle.


BOTH: I've fallen from up high, the world has said good-bye. I'm not an angel, not the answer, I'm just going nowhere faster.


HARRY: There was a time I was a hero but now that hero's gone. Looking back, I can hardly see him; everyone's moved on.


BOTH: Cast me aside, throw me away. Go on, forget yesterday and I'll try forgetting, too.


TOM: But I wish it was just like it was before.


BOTH: I wish it was just like it was before.


HARRY: I've fallen from up high, the world has said good-bye. I'm not an angel, not the answer. How did life become a disaster? I'm just going nowhere faster. There was a time before. I was adored by every son and daughter. There was a time when I was happy- when I was Harry Potter.
