Phillipa Soo - Burn Lyrics


I saved every letter you wrote meFrom the moment I read themI knew you were mineI thought you were mineYou said you were mineDo you know what Angelica saidWhen we saw your first letter arrive?She said"Be careful with that one, loveHe will do what it takes to survive."You and your words flooded my sensesYour sentences left me defenselessYou built me palaces out of paragraphsYou built cathedralsI'm rereading the letters you wrote meI'm searching and scanning for answersIn every lineFor some kind of signAnd when you were mineThe world seemed toBurnBurnYou published the letters she wrote youYou told the world how you broughtThis girl into our bedIn clearing your name,You have ruined our livesDo you know what Angelica saidWhen she read about what you'd done?She said"You have married an IcarusHe has flown too close to the sun."You and your words, obsessed with your legacyYour sentences border on senselessAnd you are paranoid in every paragraphHow they perceive youYou, you, youI'm erasing myself from the narrativeLet future historians wonderHow Eliza reacted when you broke her heartYou tore it all apartI'm watching itBurnWatching it burnThe world has no right to my heartThe world has no right to our bedThey don't get to know what I saidI'm burning the memories,Burning the letters that might have redeemed youYou forfeit all rights to my heartYou forfeit the place in our bedYou sleep in your office insteadWith only the memoriesOf when you were mineI hope that youBurn
