Castle in Hollywood Lyrics
[Verse 1: Laufey]
I racked my brain, spent hours and days
I still can't figure it out
What happened that year in our house
Still learning to live without you
I wonder what you tell your friends
Which version of our fairy story?
The one where you walk out in glory
Or the night I moved out in a hurry
[Chorus: Laufey]
I think about you always
Tied together with a string
I thought that lilies died by winter
Then they bloomed again in spring
It's a heartbreak
Marked the end of our girlhood
We'll never go back to our castle in Hollywood
[Verse 2: Laufey]
Thirty months have come and gone
I'm dating the boy that we drеamed of
I wish I could tell him about us
I wish I could tell you
How I finally fеll in love
There's not a single day
Where I didn't wish we were better
That I couldn't borrow your sweater
We were meant to be forever and ever
[Chorus: Laufey]
I think about you always
Tied together with a string
I thought that lilies died by winter
Then they bloomed again in spring
It's a heartbreak
Marked the end of our girlhood
We'll never go back to our castle in Hollywood
[Bridge: Laufey]
I wish you well, I wish like hell
You hadn't lied, we could be fine
The way I dress, over-obsessed
Still just like you, I owe it to
The best-worst friend I've ever had
[Chorus: Laufey]
I think about you always
Tied together with a string
I thought that lilies died by winter
Then they bloomed again in spring
My first heartbreak
Marked the end of my girlhood
We'll never go back to our castle in Hollywood
