I SAVED EVERY LETTER
YOU WROTE TO 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 DEFENCELESS
YOU BUILT ME PALACES
OUT OF PARAGRAPHS
YOU BUILT CATHEDRALS
I'M RE-READING
THE LETTERS YOU WROTE TO 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 TO 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'VE 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 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'LL SLEEP
IN YOUR OFFICE INSTEAD
WITH ONLY THE MEMORIES
OF WHEN YOU WERE MINE.....
I HOPE THAT YOU BURN.....
