EXTRACT A

Skyscraper

Demi Lovato

Skies are crying

I am watching

Catching tear drops in my hands

Only silence

Has an ending

Like we never had a chance

Do you have to

Make me feel like

There is nothing left of me

Chorus

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

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

[Chorus]

Go run run run

I'm gonna stay right here

Watch you disappear ya yaa

Go run run run

Ya it's a long way down

But I am closer to the clouds up here

[Chorus]
