Hunger Games

I think this song describes Katniss a bit. At first she’s only trusting herself, no one else. Then she finds Gale and they both slowly open up. Later she finds herself alone again, but in the Hunger Games. It’s then she gives her heart to someone else, even if she didn’t understand it at the time.

The Battle of the Heart part reminds me of Peeta in Mockingjay. He’s torn! He’s hateful, spiteful, realistic, harsh, sweet, pure, good. He has to decide which side he is on—which side is he? Katniss remembers, she tries to remember. This is Peeta.

Anyway, it’s called Soldier by Ingrid Michaelson

I don’t believe in anything but myself
I don’t believe in anything but myself
But then you opened up the door,
You opened up the door
Now I start to believe in something else
But how do I know if I’ll make it through?
How do I know, where’s the proof in you?

And so it goes, this soldier knows
A battle with the heart isn’t easily won
And so it goes, this soldier knows
The battle with the heart isn’t easily won
But it can be won, but it can be won

I sit in the back of the bus watching the world go
Watching the world go by all by myself
I took a faithful leap and packed up all my things
And all my love and gave it to somebody else
But how do I know if I’ll make it through?
How do I know, where’s the proof in you?

And so it goes, this soldier knows
A battle with the heart isn’t easily won
And so it goes, this soldier knows
The battle with the heart isn’t easily won
But it can be won, but it can be won

And so it goes, this soldier knows
A battle with the heart isn’t easily won
And so it goes, this soldier knows
The battle with the heart isn’t easily won

And so it goes, this soldier knows
The battle with the heart isn’t easily won
And so it goes, this soldier knows
The battle with the heart isn’t easily won
But it can be won, but it can be won

Love,
