Lyrics
0:14You know you're fighting in a losing battle
0:17Making a noose out of your hollow crown
0:21I hold a match up to your paper castle
0:24And watch it all burn down, down, down
0:27You know you’re fighting in a losing battle
0:30Making a noose out of your hollow crown
0:33I hold a match up to your paper castle
0:37And watch it all burn down, down, down
0:40Down, down, down
0:41T-tell me what you see, my dear, my dear
0:44Is there anyone you trust 'round here, 'round here
0:47Keep a knife under your pillow, the sharks and the minnows
0:51Smell blood in the water ’round here, 'round here
0:53And tell me who you're fighting right now, right now
0:57You got everyone against you somehow, somehow
1:00It's become an obsession, look at your reflection
1:03And look who you're becoming right now, right now (Oh)
1:07I could've been who you trusted (Oh)
1:09I could've been who you need right now (Oh)
1:13But you pushed me away, yeah, you lost me (Oh)
1:16And now you're lost
1:18You know you’re fighting in a losing battle
1:21Making a noose out of your hollow crown
1:24I hold a match up to your paper castle
1:28And watch it all burn down, down, down
1:31You know you’re fighting in a losing battle
1:34Making a noose out of your hollow crown
1:37I hold a match up to your paper castle
1:40And watch it all burn down, down, down
1:43Down, down, down
1:45A funny kind of love, my dear, my dear
1:48Got a kick out of the taste of my tears out here
1:51Thought you had to play a villain, running from your feelings
1:55But I'm walking on my own, no fear, no fear (Oh)
1:58I could’ve been who you trusted (Oh)
2:01I could've been who you need right now (Oh)
2:04But you pushed me away, yeah, you lost me (Oh)
2:07And now you're lost
2:09You know you’re fighting in a losing battle
2:13Making a noose out of your hollow crown
2:16I hold a match up to your paper castle
2:19And watch it all burn down, down, down
2:22You know you're fighting in a losing battle
2:25Making a noose out of your hollow crown
2:29I hold a match up to your paper castle
2:32And watch it all burn down, down, down
2:35Down, 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 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 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) 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 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 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) 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 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
