Sometimes in life
you feel the fight is over...
And it seems as though the writings
on the wall
Superstar you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call
The rise and fall
Sometimes in life
you feel the fight is over
Over...
And it seems as though the writings
on the wall
Yeah...
Superstar you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call
The rise and fall
I always said
that I was gonna make it
Now it's plain for everyone to see
But this game I'm in don't take
no prisoners
Just casualties...
I know
that everything is gonna change...
Even the friends I knew before me go
But this dream is the life
I've been searching for
Started believing
that I was the greatest
My life was never gonna be the same
Cause with the money came
a different status
That's when things change...
Now I'm too concerned
with all the things I own
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see
I'm beginning to lose my integrity...
Sometimes in life you feel
the fight is over
Over...
And it seems as though the writings
on the wall
Yeah...
Superstar you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call
The rise and fall
I never used to be a troublemaker
Now I don't even wanna
please the fans
No autographs no interviews
No pictures
And less demands...
Given advice that was clearly wrong...
The type that seems
to make me feel so right
But some things you may find
can take over your life
Burnt all my bridges
now I've run out of places
And there's nowhere left
for me to turn
Been caught in comprimising situations
I should have learnt...
From all those times
I didn't walk away...
When I knew that it was best to go
Is it too late to show
you the shape of my heart
Sometimes in life you feel
the fight is over
Over...
And it seems as though the writings
on the wall...
Superstar you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call
It's what they call
The rise and fall
The rise and fall
Now I know
I made mistakes
Think I don't care...
But you don't realise
what this means to me
So let me have
Just one more chance...
I'm not the man I used to be
Used to be
Sometimes in life you feel
the fight is over
Over...
And it seems as though the writings
on the wall
Oh yeah...
Superstar you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call
It's what they call
The rise and fall
The rise and fall
Sometimes in life you feel
the fight is over
You know you know
And it seems as though the writings
on the wall
Superstar you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call
The rise and fall
The rise and fall

RISE AND FALL
