Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

Today’s song is a song I’d never heard before until it was included in my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist last week. I really liked it and the lyrics really resonated with me, so I thought I’d share it with you.

Freya Ridings: Castles

You learnt 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

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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
