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?
I feel that when it's raining, it's really skies crying. They probably feel even worse when everyone complains of the rain. I watch silently, giving them respect as they let out their feelings. I catch the rain in my hand, trying to make them last even longer, reminding me that I'm not the only thing in the world depressed. I love how the skies can cry so silently, but produce so many raindrops. It's a skill I wish I possessed. Even when it's slowed down to spitting, you don't hear any sniffles or gulps from the sky. Maybe you don't hear any noise because the sky has to let the sun come out, giving it no more time to be upset. I wish people I knew would stop being so mean to me. They're all acting as if I have no feelings whatsoever.
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
You can take everything I own away from me. You can break everything I am; my courage, spirit, soul. Act as if I'm glass or paper, without feelings whatsoever. You can try to bring me down, but I don't think you'll succeed. I'll rise back up, no matter how many times you do it. I'm like a skyscraper, tall and bold, not letting anything hurt me.
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
As the smoke clears from the fires you all start, I wake up from my unconsciousness and walk away as if nothing ever happened. If it makes you feel happier, I'll cut myself and let you watch me as I bleed. All of my body is broken, but nothing you ever do will bring my spirit down.
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
Go on, run away from the consequences waiting for you because of the damage you have caused, I'll stand right here, feeling proud and brave. I'll watch you become smaller as you disappear, feeling happier than ever before. Keep running, but don't fall, because when you do, it'll hurt, since it's a long way down. Where I'm standing is a happier place, happier than you'll ever be now.
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Ohh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
You can take everything I own away from me. You can break everything I am; my courage, spirit, soul. Act as if I'm glass or paper, without feelings whatsoever.
