Castles Crumbling (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) (Lyric Video) (320K)

[00:28.96] Once, I had an empire in a golden age

[00:35.23] I was held up so high, I used to be great

[00:41.51] They used to cheer when they saw my face

[00:47.81] Now, I fear I have fallen from grace

[00:53.34] And I feel like my castle's crumbling down

[01:00.80] And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

[01:07.09] And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down

[01:18.57] You don't wanna know me now

[01:33.67] Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty

[01:39.95] Crowds would hang on my words and they trusted me

[01:46.74] Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far

[01:52.86] I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart

[01:59.70] Power went to my head and I couldn't stop

[02:05.98] Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off

[02:12.52] And here I sit alone behind walls of regret

[02:18.28] Falling down like promises that I never kept

[02:24.29] And I feel like my castle's crumbling down

[02:31.32] And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

[02:38.09] And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down

[02:48.68] You don't wanna know me now

[03:16.82] My foes and friends watch my reign end

[03:24.11] I don't know how it could've ended this way

[03:30.64] Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor

[03:33.64] People look at me like I'm a monster

[03:36.93] Now they're screamin' at the palace's front gates

[03:39.60] Used to chant my name

[03:41.22] Now they're screaming that they hate me

[03:47.60] Never wanted you to hate me

[03:51.71] My castle's crumbling down

[03:55.73] And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

[04:02.26] And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down (Just let you down)

[04:13.81] My castle's crumbling down

[04:20.09] You don't wanna know me now, now
