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 ways to say goodbye

You keep coming up with new ways to let me down
you say it's a shame I 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 sky

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 sky

And you'll never find another way to say goodbye
I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna rise
