| RISE AND FALL CHORUS 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 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 change, 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 advice that was clearly wrong, The type that seems 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, CHORUS Now I know, I 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 beeeeeeeeeee CHORUS |

| WORLD FILLED WITH LOVE Saw some pictures in the paper, of a girl I'd met the day before. I couldn't believe that hours later, I had reporters knockin at my door, But I used to dream about, the life I'm living now and, I didn't think I'd miss those things from the past, and I'm not afraid of leaving, or letting go of what I had, cause I realize that now there's no turning back. Cause I'm caught living in a world filled with love, so when tear drops fall from me like rain from above, I can brush my troubles away, know that deep down inside, I got sun shining in my life. I used to think I could get better, my girlfriends always used to get me wrong. Some just sent messages, love letters, but those kinda feelings never lasted long. Cause now the only love I find's within a castle made of sand, and when the tide goes out it's swept away. Though I got my peace of mind, and time is firmly on my side, and through the battles I can safely say... Cause I'm caught living in a world filled with love, so when tear drops fall from me like rain from above, I can brush my troubles away, know that deep down inside, I got sun shining in my life. (Music Break) Cause I mean I'm caught living in a world filled with love, so when tear drops fall from me like rain from above, I can brush my troubles away, know that deep down inside, I got sun shining in my life. I'm caught living in a world filled with love, so when tear drops fall from me like rain from above, I can brush my troubles away, know that deep down inside, I got sun shining in my life. |
