Schiers is a municipality in the district of Prättigau/Davos in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. The first concrete girder bridge ever built, Salginatobel Bridge, is located in Schiers. Designed by Robert Maillart and completed in 1930, in 1991 it was the first bridge to be designated an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Schiers is first mentioned in 1101 A.D. as Scieres.
Schiers has an area, as of 2006, of 61.8 km2 (23.9 sq mi). Of this area, 36.5% is used for agricultural purposes, while 44.3% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 2.1% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (17.1%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).
The municipality is located in the Schiers sub-district of the Prättigau/Davos district on the border with Austria. The highest point is the Drusenfluh at 2,828 m (9,278 ft). It is located in the lower Prättigau valley at the mouth of the Schraubach. It is the center of the middle and outer Prättigau valley. It consists of the linear village of Schiers and the hamlet of Tersier in the valley and the settlements of Lunden, Fajauna-Stels, Maria-Montagna, Pusserein as well as Schuders on the south slope of the valley. In 1875 the hamlet of Sigg left Schiers for the municipality of Valzeina.

i used to smile to hide all my pain
i used to laugh when i felt like crying
but now i'm smiling cause babe
i'm not worried, oh no
not worried about you
i used to think you had so much game
now it's like you don't even turn me on
and boy i'm no longer hurting, oh no no
cause i'm a heartbreak survivor
walked out of love without a scratch
no burns, no bruise, no scars i'm all intact
cause i'm a heartbreak survivor
no i don't plan on turning back
cause you'll never break my heart again like that
there were times i thought i'd go crazy
there were days i thought i'd lost it all
but i'd rather be alone than have anything
have anything with you at all
i wasn't always the strongest girl
didn't have the toughest skin
but i've been to a place called heartbreak
courtesy of lyricshall.com
and i swore i'd never visit there again
heartbreak survivor
walked out of love without a scratch
no burns, no bruise, no scars i'm all intact
cause i'm a heartbreak survivor
no i don't plan on turning back
cause you'll never break my heart again like that
now i get to watch that building burn down
no longer a casualty, i'm living now
baby and one day i'll make it out somehow
heartbreak survivor
i used to smile to hide all my pain
i used to laugh when i felt like crying

walked out of love without a scratch
no burns, no bruise, no scars i'm all intact
