Lyrics Rise Up - Sum 41

I told you I'd rise up

You'd be mistaken if you thought I was gone
'Cause I've been waiting for this moment too long (whoa-oh)
Just to see the worry in your eyes
I bet you thought that I had fallen away
It never crossed your mind that there'd be a day (whoa-oh)
I'd return to look into your eyes

Don't pray for me, you said, "There's no hope in forgiving"
You're happy to just leave me for the dead
Well, time has passed, I'm very much the living
And all that's left is to leave you seeing red

So when you think you've got me by a thread
You need to think again
'Cause I know you never thought that this would be how it ends
I told you I'd rise up

I don't believe that you have got any soul
You're just a breed of your own kind, all alone (whoa-oh)
An architect of your own decline (your own decline)
Nothing's sacred anymore, that's the past
It's falling further, even more out of grasp (whoa-oh)
You're replaced and running out of time

No prayers from me, you see I'm not the one you think will
Just let it go and leave it all behind
You're dead to me and I don't even feel guilt
Just take a look, 'cause it's time for me to rise

So when you think you've got me by a thread
You need to think again
'Cause I know you never thought that this would be how it ends
I told you I'd rise up
I told you I'd rise up

I don't wanna close my eyes
I can never get enough
Like the sun, it's time that I rise up

So when you think you've got me by a thread
You need to think again
'Cause I know you never thought that this would be how it ends
I told you I'd rise up

I told you I'd rise up
I told you I'd rise up
