Song lyrics Rise and fall 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,
Itīs what they call,
The rise and fall [x2]

I always said that I was gonna make it,
Now itīs plain for everyone to see,
But this game Iīm in donīt take no prisoners,
Just casualties,
I know that everything is gonna change,
Even the friends I knew before may go,
But this dream is the life Iīve 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,
Thatīs when things change,
Now Iīm too concerned with all the things I own,
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see,
Iīm 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,
Itīs what they call,
The rise and fall

I never used to be a troublemaker,
Now I donīt even wanna please the fans,
No autographs,
No interviews,
No pictures,
Endless demands,
Give into vices 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 Iīve run out of places,
And thereīs nowhere left for me to turn,
Been caught in comprimising situations,
I should have learnt,
From all those times I didnīt 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,
Itīs what they call,
The rise and fall

Now I know,
I made mistakes,
Think I donīt care,
But you donīt realise what this means to me,
So let me have,
Just one more chance,
Iīm 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,
Itīs what they call,
The rise and fall [x4]
