[ELIZA]I saved every letter you wrote meFrom the moment I read themI knew you were mineYou said you were mineI thought you were mine

You published the letters she wrote youYou told the whole world how you broughtThis girl into our bedIn clearing your name, you have ruined our livesDo you know what Angelica saidWhen she read what you’d done?She said“You have married an IcarusHe has flown too close to the sun.”
