Skyscraper
Megan Nicole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 is nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
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
And watch you disappear, yeah
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
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!
In Megan Nicole's song "Skyscraper," the opening lines draw us into the singer's emotional state as she watches the skies cry and tries to catch the teardrops in her hands. The silence that ensues feels like there was no chance for a change in the situation, and the question weighs heavily on her: "Do you have to make me feel like there is nothing left of me?" In the next verse, she describes the aftermath of the situation, with windows still broken and the smoke clearing as she untangles from the other person. She wonders if it would make them feel better to see her bleed, but ultimately she stands on her own two feet.

We all know that the vocalist from Boyce Avenue is amazing but dayum Megan has an insane voice, probably the sweetest voice in the freaking world. It's like a drop of sugar in your ears when she sings
