[Verse 1]
You learn my love, you hit the target
You get that rush and then you walk out the door
You kept me small, it's what you wanted
I never noticed
You held my hand into the darkness
I didn't care, it made me just want you more
My god, your love, it seems so harmless
I never noticed
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate that you're gone
And I hate that I don't wanna let go
And I hate that you think that I'm weak
'Cause I don't wanna let you know
[Chorus]
I'm gonna build castles
From the rubble of your love
From the rubble of your love
I'm gonna be more than
You ever thought I was
You ever thought I was (Ooh)
[Verse 2]
Each time you left, there was a hunger
I felt so dead, I couldn't take anymore
Losing your love, it left me stronger
I never noticed
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate that you're gone
And I hate that I don't wanna let go
And I hate that you think that I'm weak
'Cause I don't wanna let you know
[Chorus]
That I'm gonna build castles
From the rubble of your love
From the rubble of your love
I'm gonna be more than
You ever thought I was
You ever thought I was
[Bridge]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
That I'm gonna build castles
From the rubble of your love
From the rubble of your love
I'm gonna be more than
You ever thought I was
You ever thought I was, oh
Castles
From the rubble of your love
From the rubble of your love
I'm gonna be more than
You ever thought I was
You ever thought I was
That I'm gonna build castles
From the rubble of your love
From the rubble of your love
I'm gonna be more than
You ever thought I was
You ever thought I was
[Outro]
That I'm gonna build castles
From the rubble of your love
From the rubble of your love
I'm gonna be stronger
Than you ever thought I was
You ever thought I was

I write so many ballads. In my soul, that’s my safe space. Writing an uptempo song was out of my comfort zone but definitely something that I felt passionately about, because after heartbreak it’s finding that inner phoenix-like fire to come back out of the ashes of that hard time and make your life...
Yes! On January 23, 2020, Freya Ridings interpreted the song in live at C à vous.
