CANTANTE: Craig David

TITULO:Rise & Fall

[Chorus]
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as thought 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 and fall (x2)

I always said 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 evrything 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 diferent status
That's when things changed
Now I'm to 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 trublemaker
Now I don't even want to please the fans
No autographs, No interviews, No pictures
Endless demands
Gave into vices that were clearly wrong
The types that seemed to make me feel so right
But some things you may find 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 comprimising 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 I've made mistakes, You think I don't care
But you don't realise what this means to me
So let me have one more chance
I'm not the man I used to be, used to be

[Chorus] x3
