Demi Lovato - Skyscraper Lyrics

Demi Lovato Lyrics

"Skyscraper"

Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching tear drops 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, oh
Go run, run, run
Yeah, it's a long way down
But I am 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
Oh Oh
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

"Skyscraper" is the lead single from Demi's third studio album "Unbroken". The song was premiered on July 12, 2011.

This track was originally recorded on 2010 when Demi Lovato got very emotional during the recording session and started to cry, which forced her to enter the treatment facility because of her personal problems. She decided to keep that version but recorded a new one for the album in January 2011, after she had finished her treatment.

Kerli Kõiv, Estonian singer, explained the image that inspired him and all the co-writers, "The world was in ruins and in the middle of all the collapsed buildings was one skyscraper still standing tall. It was slightly raining and the first rays of sun were starting to shine through thick clouds of smoke."

The main motif of this song was revealed by Kerli Kõiv when she said, "You can hit the lowest low and face the darkest dark, but you can always get back up and get in the light."

The song reached the top 20 in Canada, New Zealand and the United States.

There is a Spanish version of the song entitled "Rascacielo".
