Karaoké Burn Andra Day

I saved every letter you wrote me

From the moment I read them

I knew you were mine

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 defenseless

You built me palaces out of paragraphs you built cathedrals

I'm re-reading those letters you wrote me

I'm searching and scanning for answers

In every line for some kind of sign

When you were mine the world seemed to

Burn

Burn

You published the letters she wrote 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 this narrative

Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted

When you broke her heart

You have torn it all apart watching it burn

Watching it burn

The world has no right to my heart

The world has no place in my bed

They don't get to know what I said

I'm burning the memories burning the letters

That might have redeemed you

And forfeit all rights to my heart

You forfeit the place in our bed

You sleep in your office instead

With only the memories of when you were mine

I hope that you burn oh oh oh
