Coming Up

You keep coming up
With new ways to say goodbye
Like our love's a cage
That will not let you fly
You always know just what to say
And maybe that's why
You keep coming up
With new words to make me cry
You keep coming up
With new ways to let me down
You say it's a shame
I'll always wear a frown
You say I can't be happy
Always feeling like a clown
But I'll play the fool
As long as you can hang around
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna take to the sky on this crazy cloud of mine
I'll get by, I'll get by
I'm gonna darken your days by putting the grays in your skies
And I'll keep coming up
In all the shadows of your mind
A not so distant memory
From another time
Forever the thorn in your side
I'll be the echo
That you can never find
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna take to the sky on this crazy cloud of mine
I'll get by, I'll get by
I'm gonna darken your days by putting the grays in your skies
And you'll never find
Another way to say goodbye
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
