I saved every letter you wrote me

From the moment I saw you

I thought you were mine

Do you know what Angelica said

When I told her what you'd done?

She said

"You have married an Icarus
G D A/C#
He has flown too close to the sun"
Bm F#
Don't take another step in my direction

I can't be trusted around you
Bm F#
Don't think you can talk your way
G D A/C#
Into my arms, into my arms
Bm F#
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 (burn)

I'm watching them burn (burn)

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

I know about whispers

I have seen women around you

Don't think I don't see

How they fall for your charms

All your charms
Bm F#
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
D/A Bm F#m G
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
D/A
When will you learn
D(#5)
That they are your legacy?

We are your legacy
D/F# Em D G
If you thought you were mine
(Mine, mine, mine)
