[00:00.72] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
[00:05.73] And it seems as though the writings on the wall
[00:11.21] Superstar you finally made it
[00:14.14] But once your picture becomes tainted
[00:16.68] It's what they call
[00:19.30] The rise and fall
[00:22.68] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
[00:27.98] And it seems as though the writings on the wall
[00:33.46] Superstar you finally made it
[00:36.74] But once your picture becomes tainted
[00:39.79] It's what they call
[00:42.54] The rise and fall
[00:46.71] I always said that I was gonna make it
[00:49.89] Now it's plain for everyone to see
[00:52.65] But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners
[00:55.52] Just casualties
[00:58.02] I know that everything is gonna change
[01:00.64] Even the friends I knew before may go
[01:03.48] But this dream is the life I've been searching for
[01:09.84] Started believing that I was the greatest
[01:13.08] My life was never gonna be the same
[01:15.84] Cause with the money came a different status
[01:18.44] That's when things change
[01:21.09] Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own
[01:23.49] Blinded by all the pretty girls I see
[01:26.15] I'm beginning to lose my integrity
[01:29.24] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
[01:34.61] 
[01:36.61] And it seems as though the writings on the wall
[01:42.23] Superstar you finally made it
[01:45.16] But once your picture becomes tainted
[01:48.35] It's what they call
[01:51.05] The rise and fall
[01:55.50] I never used to be a troublemaker
[01:58.46] Now I don't even wanna please the fans
[02:01.20] No autographs
[02:02.79] No interviews
[02:04.46] No pictures
[02:05.18] Endless demand
[02:06.77] Gave into vices that was clearly wrong
[02:09.72] The type that seems to make me feel so right
[02:11.82] But some things you may find can take over your life
[02:18.07] Burnt all my bridges now I've run out of places
[02:23.66] And there's nowhere left for me to turn
[02:24.84] Been caught in comprimising situations
[02:27.06] I should have learnt
[02:30.01] From all those times I didn't walk away
[02:32.76] When I knew that it was best to go
[02:34.78] Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart
[02:40.16] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
[02:45.55] And it seems as though the writings on the wall
[02:51.03] Superstar you finally made it
[02:53.74] But once your picture becomes tainted
[02:56.70] It's what they call
[02:59.58] The rise and fall
[03:03.94] Now I know
[03:06.49] I made mistakes
[03:09.23] Think I don't care
[03:11.68] But you don't realise what this means to me
[03:15.41] So let me have
[03:17.36] Just one more chance
[03:20.15] I'm not the man I used to be
[03:24.46] Used to be
[03:26.12] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
[03:30.85] And it seems as though the writings on the wall
[03:34.93] Superstar you finally made it
[03:39.32] But once your picture becomes tainted
[03:42.74] It's what they call
[03:45.20] The rise and fall
[03:49.00] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
[03:53.61] And it seems as though the writings on the wall
[03:59.62] Superstar you finally made it
[04:02.63] But once your picture becomes tainted
[04:05.69] It's what they call
[04:08.38] The rise and fall
[04:12.47] Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
[04:16.85] And it seems as though the writings on the wall
[04:22.91] Superstar you finally made it
[04:25.23] But once your picture becomes tainted
[04:28.14] It's what they call
[04:31.06] The rise and fall
