Inspired by Champion by Marie Lu

Written from June's POV

lyrics

24, 7 times, we count the days go by
when everything is possible, still you live and die
cause days don’t last forever
but he is still my light
and nights won’t stay forever
we’re staying up for the fight

I’ve been searching a long time
For something I think I lost
Billions of people come and go
But I’ve never seen a higher cost
And just like that we’re the champions
Just like that you’re gone
Every damn day it hurts so much
But I’m trying to stay strong
These are my brave thoughts

a million thoughts in my head, i can’t say anything
watch him pass, let him go, there is no memory
of me

tell me there is still good in this broken world
tell me there’s still hope for the boys and girls
let me scream for everything
everything that’s gone wrong
maybe we can both return
to when we were so young

CHORUS

footsteps, footsteps, hurried boots
running faster now regroup
“have we met before?”

no, i whisper, he’s confused
he keeps searching “i’ve known you”
“i’ve met you before”

pieces of memories in his eyes
pieces of us i can’t disguise
broken scattered left to die
but i
i’m june

“i would like to know you and clear the fog away”
we can heal, we can try, perhaps there’s such a thing as fate
as fate

I’ve been searching a long time
For something I think I lost
Billions of people come and go
But I’ve never seen a higher cost
And just like that we’re the champions
Just like that you’re here
Every damn day it hurts so much
But the fog is starting to clear
These are my brave thoughts
