Team StarKid - When I Was... lyrics

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 Riddle: 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 goodbye I'm not an angel, not the answer I'm just going nowhere faster Harry: There was a time I was a hero But 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 Riddle: 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 goodbye 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
