BURN

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"
 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 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've 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 the narrative
 Let future historians wonder
 I had reacted
 You broke my heart
 You have torn it all apart
 I'm watching it burn 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'll sleep in your office instead
 With only the memories
 Of when you were mine
 I hope that you burn
