38. Burn
[00:14.78] I saved every letter you wrote me
[00:18.78] From the moment I read them
[00:21.02] I knew you were mine
[00:22.78] You said you were mine
[00:24.79] I thought you were mine
[00:30.03] Do you know what Angelica said
[00:32.53] When we saw your first letter arrive?
[00:36.02] She said
[00:38.05] “Be careful with that one, love
[00:40.03] He will do what it takes to survive.”
[00:43.53] You and your words flooded my senses
[00:47.27] Your sentences left me defenseless
[00:50.53] You built me palaces out of paragraphs
[00:54.02] You built cathedrals
[00:58.53] I’m re-reading the letters you wrote me
[01:02.03] I’m searching and scanning for answers
[01:04.77] In every line
[01:06.77] For some kind of sign
[01:08.79] And when you were mine
[01:12.28] The world seemed to
[01:13.78] Burn
[01:21.29] Burn
[01:28.02] You published the letters she wrote you
[01:31.54] You told the whole world how you brought
[01:34.05] This girl into our bed
[01:36.02] In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
[01:43.28] Do you know what Angelica said
[01:47.02] When she read what you’d done?
[01:49.52] She said
[01:51.06] “You have married an Icarus
[01:53.54] He has flown too close to the sun.”
[01:57.53] You and your words, obsessed with your legacy...
[02:00.81] Your sentences border on senseless
[02:03.77] And you are paranoid in every paragraph
[02:07.82] How they perceive you
[02:11.30] You, you, you…
[02:18.53] I’m erasing myself from the narrative
[02:23.79] Let future historians wonder how Eliza
[02:27.28] Reacted when you broke her heart
[02:32.29] You have torn it all apart
[02:34.52] I am watching it
[02:35.53] Burn
[02:41.07] Watching it burn
[02:47.78] The world has no right to my heart
[02:50.27] The world has no place in our bed
[02:52.81] They don’t get to know what I said
[02:55.05] I’m burning the memories
[02:57.02] Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
[03:02.03] You forfeit all rights to my heart
[03:04.52] You forfeit the place in our bed
[03:07.27] You sleep in your office instead
[03:10.06] With only the memories
[03:11.85] Of when you were mine
[03:24.53] I hope that you burn
