What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I saved every letter you wrote me
2
From the moment I read them
3
I knew you were mine, said you were mine
4
I thought you were mine
5
Do you know what Angelica said
6
When we saw your first letter arrive?
7
She said, "Be careful with that one, love
8
He will do what it takes to survive."
9
You and your words flooded my senses
10
Your sentences left me defenseless
11
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
12
You built cathedrals
13
I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
14
I'm searching and scanning for answers
15
In every line, for some kind of sign
16
And when you were mine
17
The world seemed to
18
Burn
19
Burn
20
You published the letters she wrote you
21
You told the whole world how you brought
22
This girl into our bed
23
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
24
Do you know what Angelica said
25
When she read what you'd done?
26
She said, "You have married an Icarus
27
He has flown too close to the sun."
28
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy
29
Your sentences border on senseless
30
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
31
How they perceive you
32
You, you, you
33
I'm erasing myself from this narrative
34
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
35
Reacted when you broke her heart
36
You have torn it all apart
37
I am watching it
38
Burn
39
Watching it burn
40
The world has no right to my heart
41
The world has no place in our bed
42
They don't get to know what I said
43
I'm burning the memories
44
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
45
You forfeit all rights to my heart
46
You forfeit the place in our bed
47
You sleep in your office instead
48
With only the memories
49
Of when you were mine
50
I hope that you burn
