Skyscrapers please forgive me, I didn't mean a word I said
skyscrapers I was just tangled up in my own head

and somehow in all the madness, I thought that I was seeing straight
it ain't always pretty, but it seemed there was no other way

and I guess
all I ever loved
was standing right before my eyes
and I was blind

so skyscrapers please forgive me
I stand here a penitent man
skyscrapers, I'll never look down again

'cause I guess
all I ever loved
was standing right before my eyes
yeah i guess
all I ever loved
was standing here all the time
and I was blind

you were right here all the time
and I was blind.
