Day, Andra - Burn Lyrics

saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought were mine

Do you know what Angelica said
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said: "Be careful with that one, love
he will do what it takes to survive."

You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals

I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
I'm searching and scanning for answers
In every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to 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 lives

Do you know what Angelica said
When she read what you'd done?
She said: "You have married an Icarus.
He has flown too close to the sun."

You and your words obsessed with your legacy
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you-
You, you, you

I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder
How Eliza reacted
When you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I'm watching it burn
Watching it burn

The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don't get to know what I said
I'm burning the memories
Burning the letters
that might have redeemed you

You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You'll sleep in your office instead
With only the memories
of when you were mine

I hope that you burn

Chills AF.

I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine

Do you know what Angelica said
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said, "Be careful with that one, love.
He will do what it takes to survive."

You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals

I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
I'm searching and scanning for answers
In every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to 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 lives

Do you know what Angelica said
When she read what you'd done?
She said, "You've married an Icarus.
He has flown too close to the sun."

You and your words, obsessed with your legacy...
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you

You, you, you…

I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder
How Eliza reacted when you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I'm watching it burn
Watching it burn

The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don't get to know what I said
I'm burning the memories
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You sleep in your office instead
With only the memories
Of when you were mine
I hope that you burn

Awesome!!!💃🏽🎶🎵🎶🎤💜

This song with Andra voice, the musical arrangements, the coat burning, is the perfection!

Tell me why I’m crying right now dam, andra day is amazing, I felt every emotion felt like I was the one getting cheated on

THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL THAT I´M CRYING

I came as soon as I heard.

I’m ashamed to admit it’s better than the original

ASGHDSA FUCK THIS IS SO GOOD ... CRYING AT THE CLUB

HOW AM I JUST SEEING THIS?!

Who plays Alexander in this?? +++ woahhh that was beaUtiful

Perfect.

😩😩😩

I love it

From “palaces out of paragraph” to “sentences that board on senseless” these lyrics are just amazing. The videography & the depth of Andra Day’s voice .... the synergy of all those aspects... WOW

love her music more with each new song

This is so heavenly!!!

I Love this music

The way she sings the song makes me want to bawl my eyes outthis might be a hot take but I prefer this over the original

This was absolutely chilling

Lyrics:
I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine, said you were mine
I thought you were mine
Do you know what Angelica said
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said, "Be careful with that one, love
He will do what it takes to survive"
You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals
I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
I'm searching and scanning for answers
In every line, for some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to
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 lives
Do you know what Angelica said
When she read what you'd done?
She said, "You have married an Icarus
He has flown too close to the sun"
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you
You, you, you
I'm erasing myself from this narrative
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
Reacted when you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I'm watching it
Burn
Watching it burn
The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don't get to know what I said
I'm burning the memories
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You sleep in your office instead
With only the memories
Of when you were mine
I hope that you burn, burn

Wow I cried

PERFEITO

Is the guy raul castillo?

why does it sound like really dreamy and we could dance on it but the fact it was roasting a cheating husband!

Well done...

Someone explain to me why this is so beautiful? I'm? I love this

this is the best rendition of burn by far

Phillippa Soo owns this one.

THIS LEGIT GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS OH MY GOD

The vocals

I absolutely LOVE how she walked straight pass the woman. Like my beef with him, not you, period.

😒why am I discovering this song now?? (Facepalm)and here I was thinking she only has one song
How sad💔

This song reminds me of the time my ex husband cheated on me but it also helps me to remember how strong I became after that. My heart was bruised but never broken.

DAMMM!!!!! that voice it's very few singers I deal with listening to now but she is definitely 1 of them

This woman gives such weight to this song. Her voice is outrageous.

So this is one of the songs from the show? Ok.

Anyone else especially moved by the women seeing her crying on the subway and helping her. That part hit me hardest. Yes, supportive people!

That level of admission and disclosure is rather refreshing and damn near quaint by today's measure, unfortunately.

I saved every letter you wrote hit me😭💔 harder then some people will ever know

I wish this was how Eliza sang it in the show!

I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine, said you were mine
I thought you were mine
Do you know what Angelica said
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said, "Be careful with that one, love
He will do what it takes to survive"
You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals
I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
I'm searching and scanning for answers
In every line, for some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to
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 lives
Do you know what Angelica said
When she read what you'd done?
She said, "You have married an Icarus
He has flown too close to the sun"
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you
You, you, you
I'm erasing myself from this narrative
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
Reacted when you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I'm watching it
Burn
Watching it burn
The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don't get to know what I said
I'm burning the memories
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You sleep in your office instead
With only the memories
Of when you were mine
I hope that you burn, burn

Damn Hamilton!

Fav part 2:40

The girl and the woman are representative of peggy and angelica

Didn’t even know there was a video for this but listen to her version all the time!! Lol

lol it's nick from Atypical - another cheating scandal, damn dude.

Her voice is amazing 😭💓💓💓💓

Bitch this video made me cry its so beautiful... the voice is perfect

Goosebumps!!

I love the beginning of the video!!!! AMAZING!

Why am I just finding this 😭😭

lmao to think that when the mixtape came out some people were sulking about “andra day ruined the song”

Bro wtf??? I'm crying ??

#Powerful.

WOW!!! I heard this song completely by ACCIDENT on a music video channel when I was channel surfing. Dam! Andra has the most INCREDIBLE, haunting voice that encompasses so many levels of complexity and emotion. I was at first enthralled with the storyline in the video; didn't know it was based on an actual historic event by a cad that had NO REGARD for his wife's heart and BROKE it. The song and backstory BROKE MY HEART. I am so dam serious right now. I can just imagine the pain and embarrassment Eliza felt when Alexander literally publicized his affair to CLEAR HIS NAME? Like who the hell does that??!! I felt Eliza's angst and shame all up and through this song. Makes me want to dig Alex up and kick his dusty ass all over the graveyard!

This was amazing!!!!!

I didn’t think I liked her voice until I got literal GOOSEBUMPS

Honestly listening to this has me shook and wanting to kill Alex.

I'm crying, I loved this so much. ❤️
And her voice is to die for! 😍

Is it weird that I don't really like this version of the song :/

The best cover for this awesome poem.

Me: Oh yes let's see a badass Eliza moment let's see Alexander get his ass beat in a hamildrop
It's official

Mom: SYDNEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine

Do you know what Angelica said
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said

“Be careful with that one, love
He will do what it takes to survive.”

You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals
I’m re-reading the letters you wrote me
I’m searching and scanning for answers
In every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to

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 lives
Do you know what Angelica said
When she read what you’d done?
She said
“You have married an Icarus
He has flown too close to the sun.”

You and your words, obsessed with your legacy…
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you

You, you, you…

I’m erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
Reacted when you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I am watching it
Burn
Watching it burn
The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don’t get to know what I said
I’m burning the memories
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You sleep in your office instead
With only the memories
Of when you were mine
I hope that you burn
