congratulations
you have invented a new kind of stupid
a ‘damage you can never undo’ kind of stupid
an ‘open all the cages in the zoo’ kind of stupid
truly, you didn’t think this through? kind of stupid

let’s review:
you took a rumor a few, maybe two, people knew
and refuted it by sharing an affair of which no one has accused you
i begged you to take a break, you refused to
so scared of what your enemies will do to you
you’re the only enemy you ever seem to lose to
you know why jefferson can do what he wants?
he doesn’t dignify schoolyard taunts with a response!
so yeah, congratulations!

[alexander]
angelica

[angelica]
you’ve redefined your legacy
congratulations

[alexander, spoken]
it was an act of political sacrifice!

[angelica, spoken]
alexander, you’ve never even met sacrifice

(sung)
i languished in a loveless marriage in london
i lived only to read your letters
i look at us and think ‘god, what have we done with our lives and what did it get us?’
that doesn’t wipe the tears or the years away
but i’m back in the city and i’m here to stay
and i know what i’m here to do

[alexander]
angelica

[angelica]
i’m not here for you!
i know my sister like i know my own mind
you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
and a million years ago, she said to me “this one’s mine”
so i stood by
do you know why?

i love my sister more than anything in this life
i will always choose her happiness over mine
eliza wins every time

[alexander]
eliza

[angelica]
is the best thing in our life
and as long as i’m alive, we are gonna treat her right
congratulations
