(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]
(Once, I had an empire)
(Once, I had an empire)
(Once, I had an empire)
(Carekê, min împaratorî hebû) (carekê, ezmparatoriyek min hebû) (yekcar, min împaratoriyek hebû)
Carekê, min di temenek zêrîn de împaratoriyek hebû
Ez pir westiyayî bûm, min gelek mezin dikir
Wan gava ku rûyê min dît
Naha, ez ditirsim ku ez ji kerema xwe ketim
[Chorus: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams]
I ez hest dikim mîna kasta kelê min hilweşe
I ez temaşe dikim ku hemû bûkên min li erdê dişewitin
Û hûn naxwazin min nas bikin, ez ê tenê te bihêlim
Tu naxwazî min nas bike
[Verse 2: Hayley Williams, Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams]
Carekê, ez hêviya mezin ji bo dînastiyek bûm
Elalet dê li ser gotinên min bimînin û ew ji min bawer bûn
Baweriya wan bi hêz bû, lê min pir dûr xist
Min ew grudge 'heta ku min ji hev perçe kir
[Pêş-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams, Taylor Swift]
Hêz çû serê min û ez nikarim bisekinim
Yên ku min jê hez dikir hewl da ku alîkariyê bikim, ji ber vê yekê min dev ji wan berdaye
Û li vir ez tenê li pişt dîwarên xemgîn rûniştim
Mîna sozên ku min qet nehiştin
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams, Taylor Swift]
I ez hest dikim mîna kasta kelê min hilweşe
I ez temaşe dikim ku hemû bûkên min li erdê dişewitin
Û hûn naxwazin min nas bikin, ez ê tenê te bihêlim
Tu naxwazî min nas bike
[Bridge: Taylor Swift]
Dijmin û hevalên min li dawiya padîşahê min temaşe dikin
Ez nizanim meriv çawa dikare bi vî rengî biqede
Deverên ji keştiyên min ên li hareyê
Mirov li min mêze dike mîna ez monster im
Naha ew di dergehên pêşîn ên Palace de qîrîn in
Navê min dikirin
Naha ew qîr dikin ku ew ji min nefret dikin
Qet nedixwest ku hûn ji min nefret bikin
[Chorus: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift & Hayley Williams]
Keleha min hilweşe
I ez temaşe dikim ku hemû bûkên min li erdê dişewitin
You hûn naxwazin min nas bikin, ez ê tenê te bihêlim (tenê te bihêle)
Keleha min hilweşe
Hûn naxwazin min niha nas bikin, nuha
[Outro: Taylor Swift]
