Lyrics of
Skyscraper

Skyscraper by Demi Lovato is inspired by personal struggles Lovato faced, including her battle with self-image and self-harm. The song represents overcoming adversity and resilience.

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
Go run run run
Yeah it's a long way down
But I am closer to 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)
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
