Burn

(By Lin-Manuel Miranda, burns my heart)

[POTTER]

I saved every letter you wrote me

From the moment I read them

I knew loved you

You said you understood me

I thought you were mine

Do you know what I thought

When you first wrote back to me?

I thought

"He does want to be with me. 

Maybe our love can exist."

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

of when you were mine

But the world seemed to

Burn

Burn

You published the letters Blaise wrote you

You told the whole world how you brought

This man into your bed

In clearing your name, 

you have ruined your life

Do you know what I thought

When I read what you'd done?

I thought

"You drove your own career off a cliff,

And never thought of the consequences."

You and your words, 

obsessed with your reputation...

Your reasoning borders on senseless

And you let everyone know and

now they condemn you...

You, you, you...

I'm erasing my connections to you

Let no one know how I feel

And that you broke my heart

You have torn my love all apart

I am watching you

Burn

Watching them 

burn you

The world has no right to my heart

The world has no place in judging us

They won't get to know what I am

I'm burning the evidence

Burning the letters that might incriminate me

You forfeited all rights to my heart

You forfeit a place in my life

You sleep with your wife and mistress instead

And only have the memories

Of when you and I were friends

I hope that you burn
