lyrics

Do you know what it's like to be unable to believe your ears?
To hear a name you can't bear to hear?
Do you know what it's like to willingly throw your life away
in the hope that someone else will see another day?

Do you know that I'll never be the same?

Didn't mean to change the world, only wanted to save you.
Though I know that I'm only one girl, couldn't let them take you.
So just keep shining - I promise to be your Mockingjay.

Do you know what it's like to be in a forest built on bones
and know they're watching you back at home?
Do you know what it's like to scream out on the off chance
that someone will hear your voice in the distance?

Do you know if there's a way out for us?
Do you know if there's a way out at all?

Didn't mean to change the world, only wanted to save you.
Though I know that I'm only one girl, couldn't let them take you.
This was no revolution - I just wasn't leaving alone.
What happened after, there's no way I could have known.

So just keep shining - I promise to be your Mockingjay.

I
Never meant to be, never meant to be, never meant to be a hero.
I
Never meant to be a hero.

A herooooo~

Didn't mean to change the world, only wanted to save you.
Though I know that I'm only one girl, couldn't let them take you.

Didn't mean to change the world, only wanted to save you.
Though I know that I'm only one girl, couldn't let them take you.
This was no revolution, I just wasn't leaving alone.
What happened after, there's no way I could've known.

So just keep shining. I will try to make it all okay.
So just keep shining - I promise to be your Mockingjay.
