Craig David Feat Sting Rise Fall Lyrics

Rise Fall Lyrics

[chorus]

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over (over) 

And it seems as though the writing's on the wall (yeah) 

Superstar, you finally made it 

But once your picture becomes tainted 

It's what they call 

The rise and fall 

[2x]



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 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 



[chorus]



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 advices that were clearly wrong 

The type 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 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 



[chorus]



Now I know (now I know) 

I made mistakes (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 



[chorus 3x]
