Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me?

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper!
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper!

As the smoke clears I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken, but I'm standing on my feet

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper!
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper!

Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here!
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run, run, run
Yeah it's a long way down
But I'm closer to the clouds up here!

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper!
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper!
