Castles Crumbling (feat. Hayley Williams) (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)

[00:29.04] Once, I had an empire in a golden age

[00:35.79] I was held up so high, I used to be great

[00:42.04] They used to cheer when they saw my face

[00:48.55] Now, I fear I have fallen from grace

[00:54.04] And I feel like my castle's crumbling down

[01:01.29] And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

[01:07.57] And you don't want to know me

[01:12.83] I will just let you down

[01:18.82] You don't wanna know me now

[01:34.07] Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty

[01:40.57] Crowds would hang on my words, and they trusted me

[01:47.07] Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far

[01:53.57] I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart

[02:00.07] Power went to my head, and I couldn't stop

[02:06.57] Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off

[02:13.07] And here I sit alone, behind walls of regret

[02:19.07] Falling down like promises that I never kept

[02:25.07] And I feel like my castle's crumbling down

[02:32.07] And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

[02:38.60] And you don't want to know me

[02:43.64] I will just let you down

[02:49.64] You don't wanna know me now (now)

[03:18.14] My foes and friends watch my reign end

[03:24.89] I don't know how it could've ended this way

[03:30.89] Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor

[03:34.40] People look at me like I'm a monster

[03:37.39] Now they're screaming at the palace front gates, used to chant my name

[03:41.39] Now they're screaming that they hate me

[03:47.89] Never wanted you to hate me

[03:52.65] My castle's crumbling down

[03:56.49] And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

[04:02.74] And you don't want to know me

[04:07.99] I will just let you down (just let you down)

[04:14.24] My castle's crumbling down

[04:20.78] You don't wanna know me now
