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

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,
|

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
