Rise & Fall Lyrics - Craig David

1 Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

2 And it seems as though the writing's on the wall

3 Superstar, you finally made it

4 But once your picture becomes tainted

5 It's what they call

6 The rise and fall

7 I always said that I was gonna make it

8 Now it's plain for everyone to see

9 But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners

10 Just casualties

11 I know that everything is gonna change

12 Even the friends I knew before me go

13 But this dream is the life I've been searching for

14 Started believing that I was the greatest

15 My life was never gonna be the same

16 'Cause with the money came a different status

17 That's when things changed

18 Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own

19 Blinded by all the pretty girls I see

20 I'm beginning to lose my integrity

21 Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

22 And it seems as though the writing's on the wall

23 Superstar, you finally made it

24 But once your picture becomes tainted

25 It's what they call

26 The rise and fall

27 I never used to be a troublemaker

28 Now I don't even wanna please the fans

29 No autographs, no interviews, no pictures

30 And less demands

31 Given advices that were clearly wrong

32 The type that seemed to make me feel so right

33 But some things you may find can take over your life

34 Burnt all my bridges, now I've run out of places

35 And there's nowhere left for me to turn

36 Been caught in compromising situations

37 I should have learned

38 From all those times I didn't walk away

39 When I knew that it was best to go

40 Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart

41 Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

42 And it seems as though the writing's on the wall

43 Superstar, you finally made it

44 But once your picture becomes tainted

45 It's what they call

46 The rise and fall

47 Now I know

48 I made mistakes

49 Think I don't care

50 But you don't realise what this means to me

51 So let me have just one more chance

52 I'm not the man I used to be

53 Used to be

54 Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

55 And it seems as though the writing's on the wall

56 Superstar, you finally made it

57 But once your picture becomes tainted

58 It's what they call

59 The rise and fall

60 Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

61 And it seems as though the writing's on the wall

62 Superstar, you finally made it

63 But once your picture becomes tainted

64 It's what they call

65 The rise and fall

66 Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

67 And it seems as though the writing's on the wall

68 Superstar, you finally made it

69 But once your picture becomes tainted

70 It's what they call

71 The rise and fall
