This Goodbye (Based on The Hunger Games)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

My world caught fire

you're the one who lit the spark

Now I'm playing with matches 

all alone here in the dark

I had to learn the hard way

that salvation has its price

But I'll never forgive myself

that you were the sacrifice

And I can't bring myself to say goodbye

I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie

Your face will always haunt me

it's my comfort and my curse

I can't imagine any feeling could be worse

than this goodbye

Some days the guilt inside 

becomes too much to bear

I stopped seeking redemption

I don’t have the will to care

I know I should be stronger

Cause I think that's what you'd want

You'd be so ashamed if you

could see the nothing I've become

And I can't bring myself to say goodbye

I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie

Your face will always haunt me

it's my comfort and my curse

I can't imagine any feeling could be worse

than this goodbye

I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you

I gladly would have taken your place

I wanted to always protect you

but I broke every promise I made

Please don't leave me

And I can't bring myself to say goodbye

I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie

Your face will always haunt me

it's my comfort and my curse

I can't imagine any feeling could be worse

than this goodbye

This goodbye...
