I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them, I knew you were mine
I thought we'd be fine
'Cause you said we were fine..

Do you know what the others said...
When I told them what you'd done?
They said: "He has played with your heart my dear"
"he has crossed far past the line"

Please
Take another step in your direction
I can't be seen around you

Please
Try talking your way into my arms
You've gone to far!

They're burning the letters you wrote me
We can stand over there if you want
They don't know who I am
They have so much to learn

I'm re-reading your letters and letting them
Burn
I'm letting them burn

You published the letters she wrote you
You told the whole world how you brought this girl into your bed
In clearing your name
You have ruined your own life

God forbid someone whisper: "It's part of some scheme"
The enemies whisper
So you can go scream!

I know about whispers
I've seen how you look at her sister...

Please!
She's not naïve
We have seen women around you

Please
She does see how they fall for your charms
All your charms!

They're erasing me from your narrative...
So future historians could wonder
How I would've reacted
When you broke her heart

You have thrown it all away
Pace, aim, fire
Burn!
You've made it all
Burn!

And when it comes up
Explain to your children
The pain and embarrassment
You put your wife through

How can't you learn
That they are your legacy?
The story they write of you!

If you thought you were mine...
Hers...
Or hers...
Ours...
Don't!
