My Heart, My Home
Remus: I never imagined that I would find romance,
but they all tell me that I should take a chance
still haunted by the loss of my friends
one has been dead for many years,
one lost, then returned, only to be lost again
so I kept my heart hidden
afraid to feel that kind of pain again
please believe I was doing it for you,
leaving so that I could never hurt you
Tonks: your condition is no excuse for your isolation
now that you’ve committed to a family
you have to accept the danger
you have to accept the uncertainty
don’t run away, pretend it’s better this way
that’s not your decision to make
I need you to come home to me
I’m afraid to face this war alone
I know you’re afraid of what the future holds,
but whether victory or defeat,
you will never have to face it alone
it’s time for you to return to me,
please come back to your heart, your home
Remus: now I will fight back, take control of my fears
I’ll hold you close, wipe away all your tears
I made a mistake, but now I’m coming back
returning to my heart, my home
I promise I’ll do anything to protect you
and you will never have to be alone
