I stood and watched my castle fall to dust Now I am queen of rubble and of rust First piece by piece then stone by stone My castle fell by you alone I left the gate wide open I watched you set the kingdom all ablaze Until my eyes were blinded by the haze Please let it burn and I will choke Inhaling honey'd clouds of smoke With matches in my pocket With matches in my pocket I thought I would fall When the castle fell And take the blame Thought I needed walls But I realize I needed them to break I dismissed my armies just last night My sword is at my side please don't make me fight The bridge was down like my shield on the ground I let you in and showed you around A white flag on my window A white flag on my window I thought I would fall When the castle fell And take the blame Thought I needed walls But I realize I needed them to break Maybe now that we have been shattered What remains is whatever mattered to me What's left for me Maybe now that we have been shattered What remains is whatever mattered to me What's left for me I am the queen of rocks and rust My castle fell and turned to dust I left the gate wide open I left the gate wide open I thought I would fall When the castle fell And take the blame Thought I needed walls But I realize I needed them to break
