I saved every song I wrote you
From the moment you sang them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine
Do you know what Madame Giry said
When I saw you the first time?
She said, "be careful with that one, love.
What's on your face is the only thing she'll see."
You and your melodies flooded my senses
Your lyrics left me defenceless
You built me palaces out of refrains
You built me cathedrals
I'm re-reading the songs I wrote you
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 accepted the proposal he gave you
You accepted his hand, I knew of that all along
You think I didn't know? I heard it all on the roof
You replied when that was all he asked of you
Do you know what Madame Giry said
When I told her what you'd done?
She said, "she'd never pick you at all.
You hide your face from the world."
You and your ignorance leave me in fury
How you just leave me behind after all I've done for you
After all this time, how could you forget me?
How could you?
You, you, you…
I'm erasing myself from the melody
Let the world know
What you did when you left me behind
You have torn it all apart
I'm watching it burn
Watching it burn
