[Verse]
Bm F#
I saved every letter you wrote me
G D
From the moment I read them
Em Bm
I knew you were mine
F#
You said you were mine
G D Em
I thought you were mine
Bm F#
Do you know what Angelica said
G D Em
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said
Bm
Be careful with that one, love
F# G
He will do what it takes to survive.â?
D Em Bm F#
You and your words flooded my senses
G D Em
Your sentences left me defenseless
Bm F#
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
G D Em
You built cathedrals
Bm F#
Im re-reading the letters you wrote me
G D
Im searching and scanning for answers
Em Bm
In every line
F#
For some kind of sign
G
And when you were mine
The world seemed to
A Bm F# Gmaj7
Burn
A Bm F# Gmaj7
Burn
Bm F#
You published the letters she wrote you
G D
You told the whole world how you brought
Em Bm
This girl into our bed
F# G D Em
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
Bm F#
Do you know what Angelica said
G D Em
When she read what youd done?
She said
Bm
You have married an Icarus
F# G
He has flown too close to the sun.â?
D Em
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy...
Bm F#
Your sentences border on senseless
G D Em
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
G
How they perceive you
You, you, you
Bm F#
Im erasing myself from the narrative
G D Em
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
Bm
Reacted when you broke her heart
F#
You have torn it all apart
G
I am watching it
A Bm F# Gmaj7
Burn
Gmaj7 A Bm F# Gmaj7
Watching it burn
Bm
The world has no right to my heart
F#
The world has no place in our bed
G
They dont get to know what I said
D Em
Im burning the memories
Bm F#
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
G D Em
You forfeit all rights to my heart
Bm F#
You forfeit the place in our bed
G D Em
You sleep in your office instead
Bm
With only the memories
A
Of when you were mine
Bm
I hope that you burn
