First Burn 歌詞

First Burn (《漢密爾頓 》音樂劇插曲) - Arianna Afsar/Julia Harriman/Rachelle Ann Go/Lexi Lawson

 

Lexi Lawson:

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

 

Julia Harriman:

Do you know what Angelica said

When I told her what you'd done

She said

Julia Harriman/Shoba Narayan:

You have married an Icarus

 

He has flown too close to the sun

Rachelle Ann Go:

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

Arianna Afsar/Julia Harriman:

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

Rachelle Ann Go/Lexi Lawson:

I'm watching them burn burn

 

Shoba Narayan:

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

 

Julia Harriman:

Heaven forbid someone whisper

Julia Harriman/Arianna Afsar:

He's part of some scheme

Lexi Lawson:

Your enemy whispers

Both:

So you have to scream

Arianna Afsar/Shoba Narayan:

I know about whispers

 

Rachelle Ann Go:

I see how you look at my sister

Both:

Don't

 

Shoba Narayan:

I'm not naive

Both:

I have seen women around you

Don't

Arianna Asfar:

Think I don't see

Both:

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

Julia Harriman:

And when the time comes

Shoba Narayan:

Explain to the children

Arianna Afsar:

The pain and embarrassment

Lexi Lawson:

You put their mother through

Rachelle Ann Go:

When will you learn

Both:

That they are your legacy

We are your legacy

 

If you thought you were mine mine mine

 

Don't
