Go run, run, run
Skies are crying, I am watching catching tear

drops in my hands Watch you disappear
Only silence as it's ending like we never had Yeah, oh
a chance Go run, run, run
Yeah, it's a long way down
Do you have to make me feel like there's
But I am closer to the clouds up here
nothing left of me?
[Chorus]
[Chorus] You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
You can take everything I have Like I'm made of glass
You can break everything I am Like I'm made of paper, oh oh
Like I'm made of glass Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like I'm made of paper

Like a skyscraper Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
