I hear his voice
Echoing throughout the trees
His words nearly bring me to my knees
It’s Claudius’ voice
Ringing out in open air
I look around; I’m wild
But you’re not there
“Peeta!”
I call your name
I shout, “Peeta!”
The move that made my game
“Peeta!”
I know you’re out there still
And now, if I can find you
I will
I cover my mouth
Did anyone around me hear?
I pause, but I am in the clear
And Claudius’ words
Are bouncing now inside my head
I pray that you’re not dead
“Peeta!”
I call your name
I shout, “Peeta!”
The move that made my game
“Peeta!”
I know you’re out there still
And now, if I can find you
I will
“Peeta!”
The cry is there
Going, “Peeta!”
The wait is more than I can bear
“Peeta!”
I hope you’re out there still
And now, if I can find you
I will
I find you in the mud
Covered up with dirt
I try to help you up
But you’re too badly hurt
We make it to a cave
where hopefully, you’ll heal
I look into your eyes and pray
That this is real
“Peeta!”
You’re here with me
I shout, “Peeta,
You’d better stay with me!”
“Peeta!”
You’re in my arms for now
I’ll save you if I can learn how
If only I’d figure out how
You made me beautiful
When I thought that all beauty was gone
You were normal
I looked at you, my heart did not yell, “Wrong!”
You made me radiant
Beyond a thousand shining suns
You were here
But now, you’re gone
You were so sweet
When I was plucked and pinched and shaved
You understood
When Haymitch said, “She won’t behave!”
You got me through
The restless days, the painful nights
With you, I thought
I could be alright
But you were different
Not the man I thought I knew
The heart of the rebellion
Was you
And you knew
What they’d put me through
While you styled me
Comforted me
You knew
And how
How do I get over that?
Now that you’re gone,
How do I resolve it?
How do I tell myself
You tried to help me
You didn’t use me
Like the rest?
Because you were different
Not the man I thought I knew
The heart of the rebellion
Was you
And you knew
What they’d put me through
While you were there for me
You knew
And you made plans for me
Lent a hand to me
Knowing you’d be gone
Knowing they’d destroy you
You made me your Mockingjay
You made me the Queen of Games
Knowing you’d be gone
You made me your Mockingjay
And you were different
Not the man I thought I knew
The heart of the rebellion
Was you
And you knew
What they’d put me through
While you were there for me
Comforted me
You knew
You knew
Wake up in the morning
And it’s reaping day
A glare from Prim’s cat Buttercup
Sends me on my way
Go to meet Gale
In our spot in the woods
(If the Peacekeepers caught us out here,
We’d be dead for good)
(Good)
But that doesn’t matter
On reaping day
No one’s out to arrest us
Just send us on our way
Put us on a train
And ship us to the land of death
To count our last remaining breaths
Yes, nothing’s out to get us
Except for reaping day
Talk about the Capitol
And how it’s just not fair
How we should not be dying
But no one really cares
It’s just Gale and I
In our spot in the woods
(I want to end the Hunger Games
But know I never could)
(Could)
But that doesn’t matter
On reaping day
No one’s out to arrest us
Just send us on our way
Put us on a train
And ship us to the land of death
To count our last remaining breaths
Yes, nothing’s out to get us
Except for reaping day
I don’t know
How to change it
There’s no way
To rearrange it
So I change myself
And do my hair
(Like the Capitol cares
'Bout the blue dress I wear)
Cause it doesn’t matter
On reaping day
They try to take my sister
But I quickly shout, “No way!”
So put me on a train
And ship me to the land of death
Where I’ll cherish each last breath
When they’re all out to get me
After reaping day
After reaping day
Last time I tried to take a step towards you
You attacked me with your hands
So all I know is regret within me
I thought that you would understand
You have your twisted memories
I wish you could just see me
Peeta, where’d you go?
Boy, I miss you so
You left me all alone
With nowhere left to go
You’re tearing us apart
With the lies inside your heart
Please come back to me
Peeta, where’d you go?
So now I’m back to hiding out down here
Hiding from my friends
I don’t care that they just want to help
Just for me, this is the end
You have your twisted memories
I wish you could just see me
Peeta, where’d you go?
Boy, I miss you so
You left me all alone
With nowhere left to go
You’re tearing us apart
With the lies inside your heart
Please come back to me
Peeta, where’d you go?
It took so long just to feel okay
To make my choices, to see life’s not the same
But now you are here and it’s not alright
You’ve got all of me, and you’re squeezing her tight
Yeah, now you’re back
I just want to get you back
Peeta, where’d you go?
Boy, I miss you so
You left me all alone
With nowhere left to go
You’re trapped inside your brain
You’re driving me insane
Please come back to me
Peeta, where’d you go?
Boy, I miss you so
You left me all alone
With nowhere left to go
You’re trapped inside your brain
You’re driving me insane
Please come back to me
Please come back whole!
Peeta, where’d you go?
Peeta, where’d you go?
Peeta, where’d you go?
