Rise & Fall by Craig David & 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 (1)________ 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 what they call
The rise and fall
I always said that I was gonna make it
Now it's plain for (2)________________ to see
But (3)________ game I'm in don't take no prisoners
Just casualties
I (4)________ that everything is gonna change
Even the (5)______________ I knew before me go
But this dream is the (6)________ 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 (7)____________ I own
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see
I'm beginning to lose my integrity
Sometimes in (8)________ you feel the fight is over

And it seems as though the writings on the wall
Yeah
Superstar you (9)______________ made it
But once your picture (10)______________ tainted
It's (11)________ 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 (and (12)________ demands)
Given advice that was clearly wrong
The type that seems to make me (13)________ 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 (14)______________ left for me to turn
Been caught in comprimising situations
I should (15)________ learnt
From all those times I didn't walk away
When I (16)________ (17)________ it was best to go
Is it too late to show you the (18)__________ of my heart
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over (hmm... yeah)
