Rise & Fall

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 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 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 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 I never used to be a troublemaker Now I don't even wanna please the fans No autographs No interviews No pictures Endless demand Gave 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 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 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 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 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 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
