Burn Cover (rewritten for Dragon Age 2)

Lyrics:
I read every rough draft you sent 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 Varric said
When he saw I was under your spell?
He said: "Be careful with that one, Hawke,
These kinds of romances never end well."
You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals
I'm rereading your whole manifesto
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
I should've read harder, I should have known
Should've seen the storm brewing in hindsight
I know I let you manipulate me
Into ruining our lives
Do you know what Sebastian said
When we saw what you'd done?
He said: "Only you can serve Justice now,
The man you love is much too far gone."
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
We're all out to get you, you, you, you.
I'm erasing myself the narrative
Let future historians wonder
How the champion reacted when you broke her heart.
You have torn it all apart
I'm watching it burn, burn
Was I not enough for you love?
Had I seen your declining health,
Could I have saved you from yourself?
Put aside all the memories,
Forget the letters
That might have redeemed you
You get what you wanted from me
An end to your rebel story
With no thought to how this hurts me
Now you'll be the martyr while my life's destroyed
I hope that you burn
