Congratulations 

(ANGELICA) 

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 

Clearly, 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 

But you're the only enemy you ever seem to lose to 

You know why Jefferson can do what he wants? 

He doesn't dignify with schoolyard taunts with a response 

So yeah, congratulations 

You have redefined your legacy 

Congratulations 

(ALEXANDER) 

It was an act of political sacrifice 

(ANGELICA) 

Sacrifice? 

I've languished in a loveless marriage in London I lived only to read your letters 

I'd look at you and think God, what have we done with our lives and what did it get us? 

But that doesn't wipe the tears or the years away 

But I'm back in the city and I'm here to stay 

And you 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 choose her happiness over mine every time 

Eliza 

Is the best thing in our lives 

So never lose sight of the fact that you have been blessed with the best wife 

Congratulations 

For the rest of your life 

Every sacrifice you make is for my sister 

Give her the best life 

Congratulations
