Once, I had an empire in a golden age I was held up so high, I used to be great They used to cheer when they saw my face Now, I fear I have fallen from grace And I feel like my castle's crumbling down And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground And you don't want to know me I will just let you down You don't wanna know me now Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty Crowds would hang on my words, and they trusted me Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart Power went to my head, and I couldn't stop Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off And here I sit alone, behind walls of regret Falling down like promises that I never kept And I feel like my castle's crumbling down And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground And you don't want to know me I will just let you down You don't wanna know me now (now) My foes and friends watch my reign end I don't know how it could've ended this way Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor People look at me like I'm a monster Now they're screaming at the palace front gates, used to chant my name Now they're screaming that they hate me Never wanted you to hate me My castle's crumbling down And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground And you don't want to know me I will just let you down (just let you down) My castle's crumbling down You don't wanna know me now
At first I thought she meant wish me luck playing the song, but no she means wish me luck on the internet after this 😂 I live for the drama, she’s a goddess 🔥

I love Hayley so much and met her a couple times and she is just such a sweet soul. I don’t love Taylor, but I love their friendship and I really like this song so to see them finally perform it together was awesome!!
A rare combination of great lyrics and melodies with astonishing vocals, range, expression and effortless mixing of her chest, head AND whistle register. Sui generis
