Rise & Fall - Craig David feat. Sting

Sometimes in life 
you feel the fight is over 
And it seems as though the writings 
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 
Over 
And it seems as though the writings
on the wall 
Yeah 
Superstar you finally made it 
But once your picture becomes tainted 
It´s 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 
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 
Over 
And it seems as though the writings
on the wall 
Yeah 
Superstar you finally made it 
But once your picture becomes tainted 
It´s 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 now here left 
for me to turn 
Been caught in comprimising situations 
I should have learnt 
From all those times 
I didn´t walk away 
When I knew that it was the best to go 
Is it too late to show 
you the shape of my heart 

Sometimes in life 
you feel the fight is over 
Over 
And it seems as though the writings
on the wall 
Yeah 
Superstar you finally made it 
But once your picture becomes tainted 
It´s 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 
Over 
And it seems as though the writings
on the wall 
Yeah 
Superstar you finally made it 
But once your picture becomes tainted 
It´s they call 
The rise and fall 
Sometimes in life 
you feel the fight is over 
I know, I know 
And it seems as though the writings
on the wall 
Superstar you finally made it 
But once your picture becomes tainted 
It´s they call 
The rise and fall 
The rise and fall
