  • I saved every letter you wrote me From the moment I saw you

  • I knew you were mine You said you were mine

  • I thought you were mine Do you know what Angelica said

  • When I told her what you'd done She said, you were married in Icarus

  • He has flown too close to the sun Don't take another step in my direction

  • I can't be trusted around you Don't think you can talk your way into my arms, into my arms I'm burning the letters you wrote me

  • You can stand over there if you want I don't know who you are

  • I have so much to learn I'm re-reading your letters and watching them burn I'm watching them 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 Heaven forbid someone whisper he's part of some scheme Your enemy whispers so you have to scream

  • Yeah, I know about whispers I see how you look at my sister

  • But don't, I'm not naive I have seen women around you

  • Don't think I don't see how they fall for your charms, all of your charms

  • I'm erasing myself from the narrative Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted when you broke her heart You have thrown it all away, stand back, watch it burn Just watch it all burn

  • And when the time comes Explain to the children

  • The pain and embarrassment You put their mother through

  • When will you learn That they are your legacy

  • We are your legacy If you thought you were mine

  • Don't

I saved every letter you wrote me From the moment I saw you
