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)
