my song book

burn from Hamilton

A song of heart break

Lyrics:

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

Im rereading the letters you wrote me

Im 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

And clearing your name

You have ruined our lives

Do you know what Angelica said when she heard what you'd done

She said:

"You have married an Icarus, who has flown to close to the sun."

You and words obsessed with your legacy

Your sentences border unsenseless.

And you are paranoid in every paragraph how they perceive you

You, you, you,

Im erasing myself from the narrative

Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted

when you broke her heart

You have torn it all apart

Im 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

Im burning the memories

Burning the letters

That might have redeemed you

You forfit all rights to my heart

You forfit the place in our bed

You'll sleep in your office instead

With only the memories of when you were mine

I hope the you...

Burn.
