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
