Lyrics
0:17I saved every letter you wrote me
0:22From the moment I read them
0:24I knew you were mine said you were mine
0:28I thought you were mine
0:33Do you know what Angelica said
0:35When we saw your first letter arrive
0:39She said be careful with that one love
0:43He will do what it takes to survive
0:46You and your words flooded my senses
0:50Your sentences left me defenseless
0:53You built me palaces out of paragraphs
0:57You built cathedrals
1:01I'm rereading the letters you wrote me
1:05Searching and scanning for answers
1:08In every line for some kind of sign
1:11And when you were mine
1:15The world seemed to
1:16Burn
1:24Burn
1:30You published the letters she wrote you
1:34You told the whole world how you brought
1:36This girl into our bed
1:38In clearing your name you have ruined our lives
1:45Do you know what Angelica said
1:48When she read what you'd done
1:51She said you have married an icarus
1:55He has flown too close to the sun
1:58You and your words obsessed with your legacy
2:03Your sentences border on senseless
2:06And you are paranoid in every paragraph
2:09How they perceive you
2:13You you you
2:18I'm erasing myself from this narrative
2:22Let future historians wonder how Eliza
2:26Reacted when you broke her heart
2:30You have torn it all apart
2:32I am watching it
2:34Burn
2:39Watching it burn
2:46The world has no right to my heart
2:48The world has no place in our bed
2:51They don't get to know what I said
2:54I'm burning the memories
2:56Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
3:00You forfeit all rights to my heart
3:03You forfeit the place in our bed
3:06You sleep in your office instead
3:08With only the memories
3:10Of when you were mine
3:23I hope that you burn
I saved every letter you wrote me From the moment I read them I knew you were mine 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 You and your words flooded my senses Your sentences left me defenseless You built me palaces out of paragraphs You built cathedrals I'm rereading the letters you wrote me Searching and scanning for answers In every line for some kind of sign And when you were mine The world seemed to Burn Burn 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 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 this narrative Let future historians wonder how Eliza Reacted when you broke her heart You have torn it all apart I am watching it Burn Watching it burn 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 sleep in your office instead With only the memories Of when you were mine I hope that you burn
