Lyrics

Verse 1

They train me to smile through the terror

I learned every silver trick by heart

Mockingjay pin on a broken button

They made me a symbol from the start

Pre-Chorus

But I never asked for the fire

No I never wanted the flame

Still the cameras keep on rolling

And I can't remember my own name

Chorus

All that's left of me is sparks on the ground

I was just a girl who wouldn't bow down

Every scar a story they replay

I lit the match and walked away

Walked away

Post-Chorus

La-la-la I walked away

La-la-la I walked away

Verse 2

My sister's name is etched on my arrow

Every flight I take is a farewell

They crown me queen of their sad little circus

But I know the whole game all too well

Pre-Chorus

And I never wanted the glory

No I never wanted the crown

Still the hunger in my chest now

Keeps the fire burning down

Chorus

All that's left of me is sparks on the ground

I was just a girl who wouldn't bow down

Every scar a story they replay

I lit the match and walked away

Walked away

Bridge

They wanted a winner

They got a storm instead

I gathered up the ashes

And painted the skylines red

Chorus

All that's left of me is sparks on the ground

I was just a girl who wouldn't bow down

Every scar a story they replay

I lit the match and walked away

Walked away

Post-Chorus

La-la-la I walked away

La-la-la I walked away
