(Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) | (Once, I had an empire) (Once, I had an empire) (Once, I had an empire)
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

(Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) | (Once, I had an empire) (Once, I had an empire) (Once, I had an empire)
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
[Chorus: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams]
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
[Verse 2: Hayley Williams, Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams, Taylor Swift]
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
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams, Taylor Swift]
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
[Bridge: Taylor Swift]
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 screamin' at the palace's front gates
Used to chant my name
Now they're screaming that they hate me
Never wanted you to hate me
[Chorus: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams]
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, now
[Outro: Taylor Swift]

（有一次，我有一个帝国）（一次，我有一个帝国）（一次，我有一个帝国）
曾经，我有一个黄金时代的帝国
我被高高地保持了，我曾经很棒
当他们看到我的脸时，他们曾经为之欢呼
现在，我担心我已经从恩典掉下来了
[合唱：泰勒·斯威夫特，泰勒·斯威夫特和海莉·威廉姆斯]
我觉得我的城堡在崩溃
我看着我所有的桥都燃烧在地上
而且你不想认识我，我会让你失望
你现在不想认识我
[第2节：海莉·威廉姆斯，泰勒·斯威夫特和海莉·威廉姆斯]
曾经，我是王朝的巨大希望
人群会挂在我的话语上，他们信任我
他们的信念很坚强，但我把它推得太远了
我抱怨'直到它把我撕裂
[pre-chorus：Taylor Swift＆Hayley Williams，Taylor Swift]
力量伸向我，我无法停止
我喜欢的人试图提供帮助，所以我把它们赶走了
我在这里一个人坐在遗憾的墙壁后面
像我从未保留过的那样跌倒
[合唱：泰勒·斯威夫特和海莉·威廉姆斯，泰勒·斯威夫特]
我觉得我的城堡在崩溃
我看着我所有的桥都燃烧在地上
而且你不想认识我，我会让你失望
你现在不想认识我
[桥：泰勒·斯威夫特]
我的敌人和朋友看着我的统治结束
我不知道它如何结束这种方式
我在港口的船只上的烟雾滚滚
人们看着我，就像我是怪物
现在他们在宫殿的前门尖叫
曾经诵经我的名字
现在他们尖叫着恨我
从来没有想过你恨我
[合唱：泰勒·斯威夫特，泰勒·斯威夫特和海莉·威廉姆斯]
我的城堡崩溃了
我看着我所有的桥都燃烧在地上
而且你不想知道我，我会让你失望（让你失望）
我的城堡崩溃了
你现在不想认识我
[outro：泰勒·斯威夫特]
