I saved every letter you wrote me

 From the moment I saw you

He has flown too close to the sun"

I can't be trusted around you

Into my arms, into my arms

You can stand over there if you want

I don't know who you are
                  Gb    G
I have so much to learn

And 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

-All-
   A           Bm
So you have to scream

             Gb
I know about whispers

-Rachelle Ann Go-

I see how you look at my sister

Don't

I'm not naive

I have seen women around you

Don't

-Arianna Asfar-
              Gb
Think I don't see

How they fall for your charms
         D A
All your charms

    Bm                      Gb
I'm erasing myself from the narrative
    G                 D          A       Bm
Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted
                  Gb
When you broke her heart
G                         D
  You have thrown it all away
      A              D Bm Gbm G
Stand back, watch it burn
                  D Bm Gbm G
Just watch it all burn

Verse:
-Julia Harriman-
                  D
And when the time comes

Explain to the children

-Arianna Afsar-
               Bm
The pain and embarrassment

-Lexi Lawson-
              G
You put their mother through

-Rachelle Ann Go-
              D
When will you learn

-All-
                   Gb
That they are your legacy?
            Bm
We are your legacy
       D       A   Bm   G
If you thought you were mine -mine, mine-
Bm
Don't
