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 what they call

The rise and 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 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



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 what 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 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



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

And it seems as though the writings on the wall (yeah)
