Sometimes in life
you feel the
fight is over
And it seems
as though the
writing's 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
writing's 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
'Cos with the money
came a different status
That's when
things changed
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
writing's 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
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
writing's 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.....
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
writing's 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
writing's on the wall
Superstar you
finally made it
But once your picture
becomes tainted
it's what they call
The rise and fall
