It's about conquering something. Winning the battle of something, in Demi's case this is depression, cutting, and her eating disorder.
Skies are crying, I am watching- she's observing it.
Catching tear drops in my hands- it's affecting her.
Only silence as it's ending- it's quiet as it ends.
Like we never had a chance- they never had a chance of being together happy. (Demi & her disorders)
Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me?- it makes her feel like she's weakened and worn down.
[Chorus:]
You can take everything I have - disorders can take everything she has good in her life
You can break everything I am- disorders can break her appearance & how she's viewed.
Like I'm made of glass- she feels weak like glass
Like I'm made of paper - she feels weak like paper
Go on and try to tear me down- disorders are going to try and ruin her life
I will be rising from the ground - she'll rise and be stronger and overcome them.
Like a skyscraper- she'll overcome them like a skyscraper.
Like a skyscraper
[Verse 2:]
As the smoke clears, I awaken- it's clear and she's back to normal Demi
I untangle you from me- she gets the disorders away from her.
Would it make you feel better
To watch me while I bleed?- Would cutting make the disorders stop?
All my windows still are broken- she's still somewhat broken and not fully cured
But I'm standing on my feet - but she's better than before and can handle it.
[Chorus:] (repeat as above)
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
[Bridge:]
Go run, run, run- disorders, go away.
I'm gonna stay right here, -she's gonna stay and let them go.
Watch you disappear- watch them leave.
Yeah, oh
Go run, run, run
Yeah, it's a long way down- disorders can go to hell.
But I am closer to the clouds up here- she can go to heaven.
[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
Oh Oh
Go on and try to tear me down- disorders try and ruin her.
I will be rising from the ground- she'll overcome them
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
