First Burn by Shoba Narayan, Arianna Afsar, Julia Harriman, Lexi Lawson, Rachelle Ann Go

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 (1)________________ said
When I told her what you'd done?
She said
"You have (2)______________ an Icarus
He has flown too (3)__________ to the sun"

Don't
Take another step in my direction
I can't be trusted (4)____________ you
Don't think you can (5)________ your way
Into my arms, into my arms

I'm burning the letters you wrote me
You can (6)__________ (7)________ there if you want
I don't know who you are
I have so much to learn
I'm re-reading (8)________ letters
And watching them (9)________ (burn)
I'm (10)________________ them burn (burn)

You (11)__________________ the (12)______________ she wrote to you
You told the (13)__________ world
How you (14)______________ this (15)________ into our bed
In clearing (16)________ name, you (17)________ ruined our lives

Heaven (18)____________ someone whisper
"He's part of some scheme"
Your enemy whispers
So you (19)________ to scream
I know about whispers
I see how you look at my sister

Don't
I'm not naive
I have seen women (20)____________ you
Don't think I don't see how (21)________ fall for (22)________ charms
All (23)________ charms

I'm (24)______________ myself from the narrative
Let (25)____________ historians wonder how Eliza reacted
When you broke her heart
You have thrown it all away
Stand back, (26)__________ 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 (27)________ are your legacy?
We are your legacy
If you thought you were mine (mine, mine, mine)

Don't
