Burn (Hamilton)【Anna】

Have you noticed how Eliza never raps in the musical? symbolism behind it is that Eliza has plenty of time to live, she doesn't have to rush. Eliza outlived everyone

"I sa---"
Me: clap clap clap clap clap LIKED!!

Later:
Eliza: What are we having for dinner
Angelica: Roasted Ham

I just realized how alone Eliza must have felt. There's literally no one singing with her, she's alone in this. When just about every other song in the musical has a chorus at least it's shockingly affective.

Still waiting for Leslie Odom Jr to sing this so I can call it Burrn.

Me: holds up ursula's shell
NOw siNg-

For a second I thought she said
"I'm burning the memories of when you were FIIIIIIIVEEEE!!!!"
Oh no his childhood!

Historians: we don’t know what Eliza wrote to Alexander Hamilton because they burned in a fire.
Eliza: heheh sorry about that..
-_-

I would love to see you in a Broadway

why I love Anna: shes an amazing singer holy crap
why I hate Anna: SHE GOT ME INTO THIS GOD DAMN FANDOM AND IT RUINED MY LIFE AND SHE GOT ME INTO THE HEATHERS TOO JESUS ANNA

I’m a simple person. I see Hamilton, I click.

[ELIZA]
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

Eliza:
IM BURNING THE LETTERS!!!!

Alex:
Oh that’s fine I saved them in the cloud

Eliza:
ಠ_ಠ


Edit: legit just checked this after a year thank you guys sooo much!!!!

Depressing fact, Phillip S. died right before the Reynolds pamphlet was put out there. That makes it even worse, soon after her father died she finds out about the affair.
Edit, I did not expect all the likes and replies0,0

Hamilton ruined my life too, my family and friends legit hate me, lol

This is the reason I got into Hamilton damn it
one song and you’ve consumed my waking days

I still listen to the Hamilton play daily. My friends and family hate me LOL

How can I become this beautiful voice

And that, I call, Depression.

The way Eliza says “you, you, you..” just tears me to pieces.
