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 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 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'm 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, burn
Howdy y’all, guy with perfect pitch here. Any of you reading this with a piano, you can test me on this, but the high note’s actually an Ab4, speaking as a baritone tryna sing this and also a guy with the gift. Just a technicality but yeah. Ok carry on with y’all’s singing and God bless🙏🏼
this is like a real life superpower haha, my musical director also has perfect pitch lol. i thought it wasn't a G4 and went to check and realised it was a semitone up, was looking to see if anyone had commented it or if i was just singing it wrong haha
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'd done? She said "You have 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 (burn) I'm watching them burn (burn) You published the letters she wrote to 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 (mine, mine) Don't
