press the green flag Lyrics: I saved every letter you wrote me From the moment I saw you I knew you were mine You said you were mine I thought you were mine Do you know what Angelica said When I told her what you'd done? She said "You have married an Icarus He has flown too close to the sun" Don't! Take another step in my direction I can't be trusted around you Don't! Think you can talk your way Into my arms, into my arms I'm burning the letters you wrote me You can stand over there if you want I don't know who you are I have so much to learn I'm re-reading your letters And watching them burn (burn) I'm watching them burn (burn) You published the letters she wrote to you You told the whole world How you brought this girl into our bed In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives Heaven forbid someone whisper "He's part of some scheme" Your enemy whispers So you have to scream! I know about whispers I see how you look at my sister Don't! I'm not naive I have seen women around you Don't! Think I don't see How they fall for your charms All your charms! I'm erasing myself from the narrative Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted When you broke her heart You have thrown it all away Stand back, watch it burn Just watch it all burn And when the time comes Explain to the children The pain and embarrassment You put their mother through When will you learn That they are your legacy? We are your legacy If you thought you were mine (mine, mine) Don't!
Notes~ Before I say anything- I am completely aware that I could have done Burn instead of doing First Burn. I mean, Burn was actually in Hamilton and First Burn was a draft of Burn. But (I'm being completely honest) I personally love First Burn more than Burn because Eliza in First Burn is more angry and she feels more emotional in First Burn than in Burn. Also, I would've been more intrigued at seeing Eliza confront Hamilton than her singing to herself. Like, I want to see her roast and destroy ham. It also shows that she's not weak and helpless anymore *wink*. And also, First Burn is more catchy and better than Burn (in my opinion). Anyways, this song is amazing! I hope you love the song just like I do and enjoy it! Sincerely, corner_crew Credits~ - The music is from 's First Burn project.
