First Burn Lyrics
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 mineDo you know what Angelica said
When I told her what you’d done? She said, “You have married an 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 armsI’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)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 livesHeaven forbid someone whisper
“He’s part of some scheme” Your enemy whispers So you have to scream I know about whispers I see how you look at my sisterDon’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 your charmsI’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 burnAnd 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 (mine, mine) Don’tWatch First Burn Video Song
