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 searchin' for
Started believin'
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 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
Compromisin' situations
I should have learned
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 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 be
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
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
