A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven

Peeta knew it was impossible for Katniss to really love him. During the games, she convinced him that it was real, and he fell for it. She was all he ever wanted.

I don't wanna waste the weekend
If you don't love me pretend
A few more hours then it's time to go

If Katniss really loved Peeta, then he would be all for it. He wouldn't waste a single day. But here they are, greeting each other like enemies. He's avoiding her because it's all too much.

As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you keep warm
It's too late to cry
Too broken to move on

Once she saw Darius as an Avox, she shut Peeta out. He was left wondering how she would manage without him. His arms, his lips, his comforting words.

And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me

Even when Katniss shut Peeta out, he kept trying. Never ending. When he did give up, Katniss felt like all was lost. She felt… alone.

But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven

Misplaced trust and old friends
Never counting regrets
By the grace of God I do not rest at all

Mistake, after mistake. He couldn't take it. He would fall so hard for her, and she refused to catch him. He couldn't sleep, he could barely breathe.

New England as the leaves change
The last excuse that I'll claim
I was a boy who loved a women like a little girl

Peeta really was the star-crossed lover. He had been head over heels since he was five. He was the hopeless romantic.

And still I cant let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me

Katniss would only take what she needed from Peeta. She would take, take, take, and gave almost nothing in return.

It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No
No
Heaven doesn't seem far away

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No
No
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Oh
Oh

When they were in the Quarter Quell, on the beach, Peeta actually thought that maybe, just maybe, Katniss did love him. That she did care. The maybe, it wasn't a game to either of them anymore.

When Peeta was taken, he thought of Katniss. She was his heaven. He was hers. The whole country knew that.

President Snow knew that.
