Karaoké Burn Hamilton (Phillipa Soo)

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
