Verse
(ELIZA)
I saved every letter you wrote
me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine
Do you know what Angelica said
When we saw your first letter
arrive?
She said
“Be careful with that one, love
He will do what it takes to
survive.”
Pre-chorus
You and your words flooded my
senses
Your sentences left me
defenseless
You built me palaces out of
paragraphs
You built cathedrals
I’m re-reading the letters you
wrote me
I’m searching and scanning for
answers
In every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to
Chorus
Burn
Burn
Verse
You published the letters she
wrote you
You told the whole world how you
brought
This girl into our bed
In clearing your name, you have
ruined our lives
Do you know what Angelica said
When she read what you’d done?
She said
“You have married an Icarus
He has flown too close to the
sun.”
Pre-chorus
You and your words, obsessed
with your legacy...
Your sentences border on
senseless
And you are paranoid in every
paragraph
How they perceive you
You, you, you…
I’m erasing myself from the
narrative
Let future historians wonder how
Eliza
Reacted when you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I am watching it
Chorus
Burn
Watching it burn
Bridge
The world has no right to my
heart
The world has no place in our
bed
They don’t get to know what I
said
I’m burning the memories
Burning the letters that might
have redeemed you
You forfeit all rights to my
heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You'll sleep in your office
instead
With only the memories
Of when you were mine
Outro
I hope that you   burn
