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
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

[Angelica]
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?

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
