When I heard her call out your name, my face fell
Trying to end the one you love is a living hell
The starcrossed lovers of these games
are all we can be
She thinks I’m pretending, oh why can’t she seeI would like to fall in love again
and just start as good friends
No camera, or lens, lets not play pretendRemember the time you held your hand in mine
It felt like solitude
When in reality the whole world was listening
Just pretending and entertaining
The world at home
Why’d it happen like this, I guess I’ll never knowI would like to fall in love again
and just start as good friends
No camera, or lens, lets not play pretendAnd in the end
Our lives will make sense
We’ll love, we’ll bend, let’s not play pretendIt won’t be long, before we’re all gone,
because of our honesty
Please get it through your head, you know that you love me

In the song, she sings “It felt just like solitude.” But, on the written lyrics, it says, “It felt like solitude.”
I don’t know if it’s supposed to be like that, but just to let you guys know, there’s a typo in the lyrics.

Kimmy, Can you make thiis a download (Like Rue’s Lullaby)??? Since its an original song???
0

Wow. Just wow. This is amazing. But it probably would have sounded better with a guy’s voice since it is in Peeta’s perspective. But still, it’s great. And yeah, there are a few typos in the lyrics.

OMG. When i first heard this, my heart broke. I’m on no team because I don’t want to get my hopes up to be crushed in the end since the events of the book is so uncertain. But, I do love Peeta; no doubt. I like Gale, but I know I prefer Peeta. So when I heard this song, I knew it was perfect for Peeta’s feelings for Katniss. & I became teary eyed! I love this, Kimmy <3 I hope you do make a download for this. I want it on my ipod!

So good I love the lyrics!!! You should add another verse that’s from a Katniss POV and you could sing that part and have JD sing the Peeta part, and do a cute little duet

Oh my goodness. This song is so sad…. I love Peeta, if only Katniss admits that she loves him. Aah, sometimes she can be so stupid.

This is gorgeous Kimmy! It made me cry…and is making me cry again. It’s so deep and, maybe I’m going crazy but, it’s relateable. Love it.
I love the part “Remember the time you held your hand in mine. It felt like solitude.” It makes so much sense, cause it’s true. Sometimes being with the one you love is amazing.
Then there’s the part “And in the end
Our lives will make sense. We’ll love, we’ll bend, let’s not play pretend.” Confusion coming out to what Peeta hoped for…he shouldn’t die. Their lives will change and they’ll love because they understand themselves, their feelings, and each other’s a lot more than before.
Katniss really does love Peeta. It’s just one of those things you cab’t explain. If they actually had the time to fall in love without being forced to for life or death…
Love the song. Best one yet. Love it.

That was amazing, just like your other song! (Rue’s lullaby.) You’re a really great singer, and it’s so ironic that you picked a Lights song because The Hunger Games is my favourite book and Lights is my favourite singer. The word’s really matched the story, and I loved it!

This song is the best. A lot of people like gale but why would you like him after he killed prim. Like I know you can like him in the first two books but in the third my heart was taken from me I amost cryed. After that I hated gale so much because he killed prim. It makes me sad that my friend still likes gale ever after he killed prim. TEAM PEETA all the way love him so much.!!!!!!!!¡!¡

It makes me feel so bad for Peeta because Katniss doesn’t think the relationship is real when it is. By the way way, I used to hate Peeta’s guts but now I’m team Peeta all the way!!!!!!!

Wonderful job Kimmy! I can now add this to the list of songs that make me cry. It captures Peeta’s feelings so well. Where it says ” I would like to fall in love again. And just start as good friends. No camera or lens. Let’s not play pretend.” awwww!!!! I would like to fall in love again like they were forced to do it for their survivial. No camera or lens is saying how she was PRETENDING to be in love with him to show the sponsors that he needs to be kept alive. But he really does love her. And he wants her to love him too. *sad face* but I you Peeta! I I always will.

Please put this song on iTunes!! It’s incredible and sincerely strengthens and confirms readers’ perception of how deep love can run in a person, while also demonstrating the situation of Peeta’s heart.
