Craig David - Rise & Fall (feat. Sting) Lyrics

Complimentary "Rise & Fall" Ringtone

[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]
