Skyscraper Lyrics by Fae

Purgatory - EP

2019

[Chorus]
I'm burning through your bones, you were made of paper
Just ashes on a throne, guess I’ll see you later
I’m standing on my own, no need to wait for
A person to call home, I’m my own skyscraper

[VERSE 1]
Well you always said I’d be lonely
You never put my crown back on me
I cried, I cried, I cried

Sacrificing my mind to atone me
Now bloods dripping, it’s dripping back on me
I tried, I tried, I tried

[PRE-Chorus]
Finally found you at the bottom of a broken glass
Carving sorrys on the floor, who’s got time for that?
I remember when we met, you could make me laugh
But I think I’m done with that

[Chorus]
I'm burning through your bones, you were made of paper
Just ashes on a throne, guess I’ll see you later
I’m standing on my own, no need to wait for
A person to call home, I’m my own skyscraper

[VERSE 2]
Turns out I don’t need anyone but me
In your eyes, I was always unholy
Now I, know that, you lied

Crying wolf like the boy in that story
Craving sorrows like they were your glory
Don’t give, me those, sad eyes

[PRE-Chorus]
Finally found you at the bottom of a broken glass
Carving sorrys on the floor, who’s got time for that?
I remember when we met, you could make me laugh
But I think I’m done with that

[Chorus]
I'm burning through your bones, you were made of paper
Just ashes on a throne, guess I’ll see you later
I’m standing on my own, no need to wait for
A person to call home, I’m my own skyscraper

[BRIDGE]
I think I’m done with that
I’m never coming back
I think I’m done with that

I think I’m done with that
I’m never coming back
I’m sorry...you never proved me wrong

[Chorus]
I'm burning through your bones, you were made of paper
Just ashes on a throne, guess I’ll see you later
I’m standing on my own, no need to wait for
A person to call home, I’m my own skyscraper
