Lyrics
0:14I saved every letter you wrote me
0:18From the moment I saw you
0:20I knew you were mine
0:22You said you were mine
0:24I thought you were mine
0:29Do you know what Angelica said
0:32when I told her what you done
0:35she said
0:37You've married an Icarus
0:39He has flown too close to the sun
0:43Don't
0:45take another step in my direction
0:47I can't be trusted around you
0:51Don't
0:51think you can talk your way into my arms
0:55Into my arms
0:57I'm burning the letters you wrote me
1:01You can stand over there if you want
1:04I don't know who you are
1:06I have so much to learn
1:09I'm re-reading your letters
1:11And watching them burn
1:18I'm watching them burn
1:27You published the letters she wrote you
1:30You told the whole world how you brought this girl into our bed
1:35In clearing your name
1:37You have ruined our lives
1:41Heaven forbid someone whisper
1:44'He's part of some scheme'
1:46Your enemy whispers
1:47so you have to scream
1:49I know about whispers
1:52I see how you look at my sister
1:56Don't
1:58I'm not naive
2:00I have seen women around you
2:03Don't think I don't see how they fall for your charms
2:08All your charms
2:10I'm erasing myself from the narrative
2:14Let future historians wonder
2:17How Eliza reacted when you broke her heart
2:22You have thrown it all away
2:24Stand back watch it burn
2:31Just watch it all burn
2:38And when the time comes
2:40Explain to the children
2:42The pain and embarrassment
2:44You put their mother through
2:46When will you learn that
2:48They are your legacy
2:50We are your legacy
2:52If you thought you were mine
3:01Don't
I saved every letter you wrote me From the moment I saw you I knew you were mine You said you were mine I thought you were mine Do you know what Angelica said when I told her what you done she said You've married an Icarus He has flown too close to the sun Don't take another step in my direction I can't be trusted around you Don't think you can talk your way into my arms Into my arms I'm burning the letters you wrote me You can stand over there if you want I don't know who you are I have so much to learn I'm re-reading your letters And watching them burn I'm watching them 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 Heaven forbid someone whisper 'He's part of some scheme' Your enemy whispers so you have to scream I know about whispers I see how you look at my sister Don't I'm not naive I have seen women around you Don't think I don't see how they fall for your charms All your charms I'm erasing myself from the narrative Let future historians wonder How Eliza reacted when you broke her heart You have thrown it all away Stand back watch it burn Just watch it all burn And when the time comes Explain to the children The pain and embarrassment You put their mother through When will you learn that They are your legacy We are your legacy If you thought you were mine Don't
