a mystery

song title: a mystery
written by lucy gray baird
about her own story from other's perspective
and the last writing of hers ever heard

verse 1:
as a child, she knew nothing but the seem
heard all of those treacherous screams
she fought and cried, but no one would listen
then she fell in love with a boy she took bliss in

verse 2:
no one thought he would ever betray her
but the mayor's daughter ruined her future
the little blondie bitch stole her first love and broke her young heart
the reaping came and the hurt and angry girl had to depart

chorus:
she's a mystery
where has she fled to
she's a mystery
is something else missing too
she seemed in love, now she's gone
oh, no one can find her

verse 3:
the games, no one expected her to survive
but she met a new, kind boy to her surprise
little by little, the competitors passed on
the lover girl won, but all innocence gone

verse 4:
some say that her singing saved her life
she knows the truth, it wasn't that bright
the boy cheated to help her, but was it worth it
deep down, she felt she had never deserved it

chorus:
she's a mystery
where has she fled to
she's a mystery
is something else missing too
she seemed in love, now she's gone
oh, no one can find her

verse 5:
sent back to the seem like nothing had changed
a capitol lover was who was to blame
even though it looked like miss lucy was saved
it was the beginning of the end of her days

verse 6:
one night she sang for the men by the seem
her eyes widened when she spotted her dream
the capitol lover had come to her home
he called it is own to lover girl who did not know

chorus:
she's a mystery
where has she fled to
she's a mystery
is something else missing too
she seemed in love, now she's gone
oh, no one can find her

verse 7:
what she did not know would haunt her forever
it keeps her up at night with heart fever
capitol lover came to visit quite often
he made all of lucy's thoughts and heart soften

verse 8:
it was a mistake to trust such a boy
who'd cheated to feel such enjoyment
the girl saw his thoughts eating away
she asked him what happened that day

chorus:
she's a mystery
where has she fled to
she's a mystery
is something else missing too
she seemed in love, now she's gone
oh, no one can find her

verse 9:
three deaths on the conscious of the boy told
dear lucy to try to see clearly and be bold
on their way to flee to thirteen she saw in his eyes
the secrets that he was hiding behind his disguise

verse 10:
lucy gray ran for her life with a fight
she escaped in what seemed like a flicker of light
goodbye, capitol boy, i'm no longer death bound
i am away, all safe and sound
