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 my brothers' said
When I told them what you'd done?
They said
"You have married an Idiot
Who was to stupid to see what he's done."

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

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)

.....

You published the letters she wrote to 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
I know about whispers
I've seen how you look when your with her.

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 your charms

I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future guild members wonder how Laylani 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 (mine, mine)
Don't
