Rise & Fall by Craig David & Sting

Sometimes in life you (1)________ the fight is over

And it seems as though the writings on the wall

Superstar you finally made it
But (2)________ 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 (3)________ they call
The rise and fall

I always said that I was gonna make it
Now it's plain for everyone to see
But (4)________ game I'm in don't take no prisoners

The type that (15)__________ 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 comprimising situations
I should have learnt
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 (hmm... yeah)
(Over, hmm... yeah)
And it seems as though the writings on the wall
(The writings on the wall)
Superstar you finally (16)________ it (oh yeah)
But once your picture becomes tainted
