Ellie Goulding - Hollow Crown lyrics

[Chorus] You know you're fighting in a losing battle Making a noose out of your hollow crown I hold a match up to your paper castle And watch it all burn down, down, down You know you’re fighting in a losing battle Making a noose out of your hollow crown I hold a match up to your paper castle And watch it all burn down, down, down Down, down, down [Verse 1] T-tell me what you see, my dear, my dear Is there anyone you trust 'round here, 'round here Keep a knife under your pillow, the sharks and the minnows Smell blood in the water ’round here, 'round here And tell me who you're fighting right now, right now You got everyone against you somehow, somehow It's become an obsession, look at your reflection And look who you're becoming right now, right now (Oh) [Pre-Chorus] I could've been who you trusted (Oh) I could've been who you need right now (Oh) But you pushed me away, yeah, you lost me (Oh) And now you're lost [Chorus] You know you’re fighting in a losing battle Making a noose out of your hollow crown I hold a match up to your paper castle And watch it all burn down, down, down You know you’re fighting in a losing battle Making a noose out of your hollow crown I hold a match up to your paper castle And watch it all burn down, down, down Down, down, down [Verse 2] A funny kind of love, my dear, my dear Got a kick out of the taste of my tears out here Thought you had to play a villain, running from your feelings But I'm walking on my own, no fear, no fear (Oh) [Pre-Chorus] I could’ve been who you trusted (Oh) (I could've been who you trusted) I could've been who you need right now (Oh) But you pushed me away, yeah, you lost me (Oh) And now you're lost [Chorus] You know you’re fighting in a losing battle Making a noose out of your hollow crown I hold a match up to your paper castle And watch it all burn down, down, down You know you're fighting in a losing battle Making a noose out of your hollow crown I hold a match up to your paper castle And watch it all burn down, down, down Down, down, down
