Disclaimer: I don't own Hamilton (duh).
I saved every lesson you taught me
From the moment I learned them, I knew you were God
You seemed like a god, I thought you were God
Do you know what Angelica said
Every time a new baby arrived?
She said "We'll have to be careful now
Because only the strongest survive."
You and your words formed my identity
You shaped every one of my senses
You built a palace of every piano piece
You built cathedrals
I'm rereading the lessons you taught me
I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line
For some kind of sign, and when things were fine
The world seemed to rise up
You published the letters she wrote you
You told the whole world how you brought this girl into our home
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
Do you know what Angelica said when she read what you'd done?
She said, "I'm ashamed to be his daughter"
And I'm ashamed to be your son
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 Philip reacted when you broke his heart
You have torn it all apart, I am watching it fall, fall
The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in my head
They don't get to know what I said
I'm throwing away all the lessons
That might have redeemed you
You forfeit all rights to my heart
I forfeit your pride and your name
My world will never be the same
With only the memories of when you were my dad
I hope that you fall
A/N: In case you couldn't tell, the Angelica in the song is Angelica Hamilton, Philip's younger sister.
