[Eliza:]
I saved every letter you wrote me
"That's so sweet..." Herc smiled a little at The woman on stage
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine
"Why do I feel like this is taking a dark turn" Washington commented earned a nod from James, Aaron and Laf
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."
"I do what is to takes to protect those I love"
"Did you not listen to The Reynolds' Pamphlet?"
"I don't have to...how do we even know any of this actually happened"
You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals
"She sounds like mom" Philip whispered to Alexander who just shook his head, unwilling to process anything that was being sung
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
"I ruined everything"
You told the whole world how you brought
This girl into our bed
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
"I ruined my life"
"No Alexander, you ruined your entire family's lives"
Do you know what Angelica said
When she read what you'd done?
She said, "You've 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
"But my legacy..."
The conductor stopped and everyone looked at the audience
"YOUR LEGACY WAS SAVED BY TWO MEN, RON CHERNOW AND LIN MANUEL MIRANDA. WITHOUT THEM YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON OUR 10 DOLLAR BILL. NO ONE WOULD KNOW YOU, OR ANYTHING YOU'VE EVER DONE. SO NO. ALEXANDER HAMILTON. YOU FUCKED UP YOUR LEGACY, AND PEOPLE THAT ARE 200 YEARS YOUNGER THAN YOU FIXED IT AND MADE YOU AN INTERNATIONAL STAR. SO SHUT THE HELL UP AND WATCH THE DAMN SHOW." Samantha yelled, Devon looked at her and gently pulled her into his lap trying to calm her down.
The men all whispered amongst each other, No one tried to talk to Alexander, who was now shaking in his seat.
The music started again
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'm 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
Samantha hugged Devon tightly, knowing what was to come next.
