Rise And Fall Lyrics

Rise And Fall lyrics

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as through the
writing's on the wall
Superstar you've finally made it
But once your
picture becomes tainted
It's what they call the rise & fall
(x2)

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 may 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

Chorus

I never used to be a
troublemaker
Now I don't even wanna please the fans
No autographes, no
intervieuws, no pictures
Endless demands
Gave in to vices that were
clearly wrong
The types 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 run
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 goe
Is it too late to
show you the shape of my heart?

Chorus

Now I know I've made
mistakes, you 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 he man I used to
be

Chorus/outro (x3)
