Lyrics
0:00Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
0:06And it seems as though the writings on the wall
0:11Superstar you finally made it
0:14But once your picture becomes tainted
0:17It's what they call
0:19The rise and fall
0:23Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
0:29And it seems as though the writings on the wall
0:34Superstar you finally made it
0:37But once your picture becomes tainted
0:40It's what they call
0:42The rise and fall
0:47I always said that I was gonna make it
0:50Now it's plain for everyone to see
0:53But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners
0:55Just casualties
0:58I know that everything is gonna change
1:01Even the friends I knew before me go
1:04But this dream is the life I've been searching for
1:10Started believing that I was the greatest
1:13My life was never gonna be the same
1:16Cause with the money came a different status
1:18That's when things change
1:21Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own
1:24Blinded by all the pretty girls I see
1:27I'm beginning to lose my integrity
1:32Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
1:37And it seems as though the writings on the wall
1:42Superstar you finally made it
1:45But once your picture becomes tainted
1:48It's what they call
1:51The rise and fall
1:56I never used to be a troublemaker
1:58Now I don't even wanna please the fans
2:01No autographs
2:02No pictures
2:03No interviews
2:04And less demands
2:07Given advice that was clearly wrong
2:09The type that seems to make me feel so right
2:12But some things you may find can take over your life
2:18Burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places
2:21And there's nowhere left for me to turn
2:24Been caught in comprimising situations
2:27I should have learnt
2:30From all those times I didn't walk away
2:33When I knew that it was best to go
2:35Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart
2:40Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
2:46And it seems as though the writings on the wall
2:51Superstar you finally made it
2:54But once your picture becomes tainted
2:57It's what they call
2:59The rise and fall
3:04Now I know
3:06I made mistakes
3:09Think I don't care
3:11But you don't realise what this means to me
3:15So let me have
3:17Just one more chance
3:20I'm not the man I used to be
3:24Used to beeeeeeeeeee
3:25Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
3:31And it seems as though the writings on the wall
3:37Superstar you finally made it
3:40But once your picture becomes tainted
3:43It's what they call
3:45The rise and fall
4:27END
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 pictures No interviews 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 END
