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 may 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

Endless demands (endless demands)

Give into vices 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 (hum yeah)

And it seems as though

The writings on the wall

(The writings on the wall)

Superstar you finally made it (oh yeah)

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 (now I know)

I made mistakes (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

(The writings on the wall)

Superstar you finally made it (oh yeah)

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 (yeah)

Superstar you finally made it (oh yeah)

But once your picture becomes tainted

(oh)

It's what they call

The rise and fall
