Loveee Her

This verse will forever haunt my soul I don’t think I’ll ever write something this good again

I like the second verse

I’ll come to you on a lavender breeze

Just close your eyes and you’ll see

When I’m holding you we are clean

And this is more than a dream

I’ll keep stacking up my two cents

Against the bills and the rent

So you can live in more than my head

I can’t wait to see you again

For now we’ll phone

When we should be sleeping

Hold onto hope

That this is the real thing

Oh, you’re my everything.

Yeah, I may have blood on my hands

I may be a broken man

Maybe I don’t know where I stand

But I’m finding home again

Please just let me rest

On the left side of your bed

Yeah, rinse the red from my hands

I love you without end

Oh, for now we’ll phone

When we should be sleeping

Hold onto hope

That this is the real thing

Oh, you’re my everything.

I’ll keep stacking up my two cents

Against the bills and the rent

So you can live in more than my head

I can’t wait to see you again

Please just let me rest

On the left side of your chest

Yeah, rinse the red from my hands

I love you without end

-Sweet Dreams on a Lavender Breeze-

Original lyrics BL

This is really cool! People usually forget about her after the musicals over but you wrote a whole song!

I was researching the events of Hamilton and got really emotionally invested in Maria Reynolds, especially since we only see Hamilton’s perspective on her and the affair which somehow makes him out to be the victim. I understand that the musical couldn’t afford to spend any more time on her, but I wish she got more sympathy and respect. “Say No To This” was only one section in her life, after all. So I… just went ahead and…

Wanted A Hamilton: An American Musical Fan Song Maria: The full rainbow of insults with which I’m shamed Paints me as playing for the sinn

wrote the lyrics for a whole Hamilton-style song about her life. As you do.

References to the musical:

The title (situated at the end of a line in the chorus) being an adjective referring to how Maria does and/or does not feel and related to her passion for Hamilton follows the pattern of “Helpless” and “Satisfied”, uniting the three “Me? I loved him” women.

Burr’s “the sinners and the saints” line in “Wait For It”, leading into how her life “takes and it takes and it takes”. Possibly foreshadowing of Burr’s significance in her life and her turn to religion in her last years.

“No one will read it” and “Burr, that’s why need it” in “Non-Stop”.

The ‘pawns’ line harks back to chess terms and references like “knight takes rook”, “stalemate”, “the sacrifices made in every game of chess” - Hamilton follows the chess players, Maria is just a pawn. A piece Hamilton is willing to sacrifice.

“I’m a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal” in “My Shot”.

The “Alexander Hamilton” motif (all names are sung in their show cadences).

“Stay Alive”, the titular phrase of which is sung by Maria’s foil Eliza no less.

Eliza and Angelica repeatedly draw attention to Hamilton’s eyes being his most captivating feature that makes them fall for him in “Helpless” and “Satisfied”. So with Maria here it’s no different. She and Angelica both specifically sing that their situation is bearable because they can “keep [Hamilton’s] eyes in [their] life”, even if he’s truly Eliza’s.

Hamilton’s “I don’t want you” line in “Say No To This”.

The plea to “stay” both Eliza and Maria sing to Hamilton.

“Helpless”, another Eliza motif Maria borrows.

The “Aaron Burr, sir” motif. “…that I can, ma’am” is sung to the same tune, showing along with the title that Burr (a supporter of women’s equality) respects Maria as his equal.

“Say No To This”, in a proper reprise.

The “I am not throwing away my shot” motif.

“The world seemed to burn” in “Burn”.

“The Reynolds Pamphlet”, also a brief reprise.

“You lit my heart aflame” in “Satisfied”.

The “satisfied” motif.

The “enough” motif. Oh look, Eliza again.

Cool

Hard Eyes

Call me your’s

Call me small

Call me pretty

Say it all

Call me your’s

Never mine

Call me ruined

I won’t whine

———

But I hear the cries of your people

They’re begging you, they’re begging you to stop

They’re begging you for once please be merciful

You don’t have to be the one always on top

———

Say you’re sad

Say you cried

Say you’re frightened

That you hide

I see the hate

In your eyes

You are haughty

Full of lies

———

But I hear the cries of your people

They’re begging you, they’re begging you to stop

They’re begging you for once please be merciful

You don’t have to be the one always on top

———

Call me bitch

Call me whore

Say I’ll never

Deserve more

Say you’re great

Full of wit

I won’t say you’re

Full of it

———

But I hear the cries of your people

They’re begging you, they’re begging you to stop

They’re begging you for once please be merciful

You don’t have to be the one always on top

———

I’m betting, sir, that your father adored you

I’m betting, sir, that the servants deplored you

I’m betting sir, that the kingdom was yours

And all the bountiful riches it stored

I’m betting, sir, that you never knew pain

That you never knew hierarchy’s reign

Except of course, you are hierarchy’s god

You don’t spare the shackles, you don’t spare the rod

———

And I hear the cries of your people

They’re begging you, they’re begging you to stop

They’re begging you for once please be merciful

You don’t have to be the one always on top

———

May your palace burn with you in it, your highness

My life is for my people and planet, their kindness

Knowingly

No one hurts me knowingly And I don't really let them see The scars they leave under my sleeve I guess that's on me, yeah... It was an accident It's just ignorance Didn't mean to do it, do it, no So I let it pass, roll off my back No reason to cry over and over But the tear stains on my pillow Tell me that I don't know how to really let this go

No one hurts me knowingly And I don't really let them see The scars they leave under my sleeve I guess that's on me, yeah...

Well, my broken heart is just collateral damage to someone's selfish tendencies Maybe if I spoke up Tell them I had enough, they'd listen to me But maybe they won't, and maybe they don't - They don't care what they do to me Listen Here
