28 Days and Skyscraper - Demi Lovato

Tonight, I'm officially 4 weeks clean. I can't even believe it. It's been all by the grace of God. I don't even know how I've come to where I am. The medication I'm on has helped tremendously, after years of trying to get it right, this one last long shot finally worked. I've had probably 2 really rough nights in the last 4 weeks. It's amazing.

Today was the first day of my senior year of college. I can't believe I'm here. I wasn't expecting to live to see 19, let alone 21. As I've said before, if you'd asked me last summer what I wanted to do with my life, I would've told you I didn't expect to live to graduation. Well, here I am, beginning my senior year of college, most likely headed to be a permanent missionary in Romania after graduation. What a change!

This song has been a big source of strength for me since it came out in June. Demi Lovato struggled with self-injury and overcame it, so she's been a big inspiration to me as well as many other people. This song is extremely powerful and it's one that really hits home for me.


Skies are crying, 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's nothing left of me?

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

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
Watch you disappear yeah
Go run run run yeah it's a long way down
But I'm 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
Ohh
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
Like a skyscraper
