Castles Crumbling (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)
[00:03.95] (feat. Hayley Williams)
[00:16.25] (Once, I had an empire)
[00:27.71] (Once, I had an empire)
[00:29.31] (Once, I had an empire)
[00:29.90] Once, I had an empire in a golden age
[00:35.77] I was held up so high, I used to be great
[00:42.24] They used to cheer when they saw my face
[00:48.61] Now, I fear I have fallen from grace
[00:54.48] And I feel like my castle's crumbling down
[01:01.17] And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
[01:07.80] And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down
[01:19.48] You don't wanna know me now
[01:34.18] Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty
[01:40.62] Crowds would hang on my words and they trusted me
[01:47.05] Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far
[01:53.55] I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart
[02:00.30] Power went to my head and I couldn't stop
[02:06.39] Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off
[02:12.99] And here I sit alone behind walls of regret
[02:19.11] Falling down like promises that I never kept
[02:25.29] And I feel like my castle's crumbling down
[02:31.88] And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
[02:38.30] And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down
[02:50.02] You don't wanna know me now
[03:18.99] My foes and friends watch my reign end
[03:24.85] I don't know how it could've ended this way
[03:31.25] Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor
[03:33.95] People look at me like I'm a monster
[03:37.37] Now they're screamin' at the palace's front gates
[03:40.29] Used to chant my name
[03:41.62] Now they're screaming that they hate me
[03:48.36] Never wanted you to hate me
[03:52.69] My castle's crumbling down
[03:56.42] And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground
[04:02.66] And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down (Just let you down)
[04:14.04] My castle's crumbling down
[04:20.91] You don't wanna know me now, now
[04:35.41] (Once, I had an empire)
