1. Skies are crying, I am watching

Catching teardrops in my hands

Only silence, as its ending,

like we never had a chance.

Do you have to make me feel

like there’s nothing left of me?

R: 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

2. 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

R: You can take everything I have...

*: 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

R: You can take everything I have...

... Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper (2x)

G*

Like a skyscraper
