Rise and fall
|
|
Song by
|
Craig David
|
|
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 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
|
endless demands
|
|
Gave in to vices that
|
were clearly wrong
|
|
The types that
|
seemed 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
|
compromising 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 realize
|
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
