We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Watching you
Walk home every single day
Now I see the weapons, see the violent people
See you make your way through the trees
To come find me
Why couldn't I see
That you were Katniss
You were brave and loyal
And you wouldn't let your sister play the Game
And I was allied with the careers
Just to protect you
And I said,
"Katniss help me I've been hurt really bad
But I don't mind because you here makes me glad
We can be a team the new rule says
It's a love story, Katniss, just say 'yes'"
So you sneak out at night when I'm sleeping
I need medicine so to the cornucopia you're creeping
I didn't want you to go
Because I worried you might get hurt
You were Katniss
You wanted to help me
And you wouldn't let your sister play the Game
And I would do any thing
Just to protect you
And I said,
"Katniss help me I've been hurt really bad
But I don't mind because you here makes me glad
We can be a team the new rule says
It's a love story, Katniss, just say 'yes'"
"Katniss let's go only one tribute's 'live
This love is difficult but we'll survive
Don't be afraid we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, Katniss just say 'yes'"
We were the only ones left we were waiting
We the ones who got out of there
But the rules were changing
When we heard one of us had to die
I said,
"Katniss kill me; you should be the one to go
You're family's waiting for you to come home
Just do it now
There's nothing else to do"
You reached in your pocket
And pulled out the berries and said,
"We'll both die here; neither of us has to win
I want to show them we don't belong to them
On the count of three we'll eat the berries
It's a love story and I say 'yes'"
We were both young when I first saw you
