Comin' 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
