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
