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 (x2)* 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,* 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,* 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,* 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 beeeeeeeeeee* 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 (x4)
