Hollow Crown Lyrics - Ellie Goulding

[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
