[00:14.55]I saved every letter you wrote me
[00:18.73]From the moment I read them
[00:20.89]I knew you were mine
[00:22.89]You said you were mine
[00:24.51]I thought you were mine
[00:30.20]Do you know what Angelica said
[00:32.36]when we saw your first letter arrive
[00:36.00]She said
[00:37.27]“Be careful with that one, love
[00:39.98]He will do what it takes to survive”
[00:42.91]You and your words flooded my senses
[00:47.01]Your sentences left me defenseless
[00:50.13]You built me palaces out of paragraphs
[00:53.96]you built cathedrals
[00:57.99]I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
[01:01.82]I'm searching and scanning for answers
[01:04.65]In every line
[01:06.53]for some kind of sign
[01:08.26]and when you were mine
[01:12.03]the world seemed to
[01:14.28]Burn
[01:20.35]Burn
[01:27.24]You published the letters she wrote you
[01:31.05]You told the whole world how you brought
[01:33.45]this girl into our bed
[01:35.60]In clearing your name
[01:37.86]you have ruined our lives
[01:42.82]Do you know what Angelica said
[01:45.85]When she read what you'd done
[01:49.33]She said
[01:50.50]“You have married an Icarus
[01:52.99]He has flown too close to the sun”
[01:56.07]You and your words obsessed with your legacy
[02:00.42]Your sentences border on senseless
[02:03.25]and you are paranoid in every paragraph
[02:07.16]how they perceive you
[02:11.11]You, you, you
[02:17.69]I'm erasing myself from the narrative
[02:23.07]Let future historians wonder
[02:26.40]how Eliza reacted when you broke her heart
[02:32.03]You have torn it all apart
[02:34.00]I am watching it
[02:35.12]burn
[02:40.71]Watching it burn
[02:46.83]The world has no right to my heart
[02:49.42]The world has no place in our bed
[02:52.03]They don't get to know what I said
[02:54.78]I'm burning the memories
[02:56.81]Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
[03:01.31]You forfeit all rights to my heart
[03:03.76]You forfeit the place in our bed
[03:06.49]You sleep in your office instead
[03:09.32]with only the memories
[03:10.79]of when you were mine
[03:24.56]I hope that you burn
