Fic: We were singin'... (original) (raw)

A long, long time ago

I can still remember when

I first opened up the book.

And I knew from that first page

That fanfic would follow and set the stage

And we created first loves from a look

But the release date has come and gone

And with it so our ships have moved on

So many among the dead

Too many to hold in our heads

I can remember that I cried

When I read about how Severus died

And something inside us broke and sighed

The day our OTP died…

And we were singin’

Bye, bye, our OTP pride

One we nurtured through 3 books

Now we’re all hollow inside

So you took our Tonks and Snape

And let them both die

Sayin’ I’ll push your OTP to the side

You’ve got to learn to say goodbye…

Did you read the final book

And can you believe that one last look

At Harry’s eyes that our Sevvie took

Oh, and thanks to a snake our Professor died

Not a noble death, more a blow to the pride

And still without a word to Tonks and we cried.

And while our dear Snape risked his life

That damn Lupin made Tonks his wife

Our ships all crashed and burned

But soon we were to learn

That they soon were expecting a kid

My fanfic files all ran and hid

Can you guess just what I did

The day our OTP died?

I was singin’…

Bye, bye, our OTP pride

One we nurtured through 3 books

Now we’re all hollow inside

So you took our Tonks and Snape

And let them both die

Sayin’ I’ll push your OTP to the side

You’ve got to learn to say goodbye…

We finally learned what we all wanted

That Snape was loyal with a past that was haunted

By Lily’s eyes and the child of his enemy

We saw his life flash before our eyes

He was always reaching and never got the prize

Then she died leaving him to grieve his mistake

So why didn’t he and Tonks pair off instead?

They’d have made a cute couple and steamy in bed

Most of us explored that ship

Into perversion we happily dipped

But still Rowling had the final word

And she wanted to see us all perturbed

When we read that last book and learned

The day our OTP died…

We all were singin’…

Bye, bye, our OTP pride

One we nurtured through 3 books

Now we’re all hollow inside

So you took our Tonks and Snape

And let them both die

Sayin’ I’ll push your OTP to the side

You’ve got to learn to say goodbye…

We’ve recovered from that initial shock

Now we’re wishing we could turn back the clock

To the days when Snape and Tonks were still alive

We’ll find a way to resurrect them

To die? We simply cannot let them

But we’ll have to make sure Lupin doesn’t survive

And in the end so many died

Not just our faves but so many we cried

So many other ships are now sunk

And all our theories are debunked

And the OTP we admired most

Might have to be written and bring them back as ghosts

But if nothing else we’ll pretend they’re not toast

On the day our OTP died…

And we were singin’…

Bye, bye, our OTP pride

One we nurtured through 3 books

Now we’re all hollow inside

So you took our Tonks and Snape

And let them both die

Sayin’ I’ll push your OTP to the side

You’ve got to learn to say goodbye…
