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 live my life in chains
Got my hands in chains
And I can?t stick with the cards
That I got with a deal
Like this I must insist
That a girl?s got more to do
Then be the way you think a woman should
I?m taking it into my own hands
In this man?s land I can understand
Why I?m taking command
Had enough of stuff
And now it?s time to think about me, me yeah
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It?s a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it?s all good
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that?s not the shape of my heart
I?ve always played it safe nothing?s ever safe
Give me the courage to back my own convictions
Every decision I make I pay it back and more
Now turn the cards and let them fall to me
Cos I don?t need to play on with the hand that they have given me
I?ll give it back cos it?s not the way it has to be
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It?s a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it?s all good
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that?s not the shape of my heart
That?s not the shape
The shape of my heart
My heart
That?s not the shape of my heart
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
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
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,
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
And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It?s a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it?s all good
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that?s not the shape of my heart
Tomado de AlbumCancionYLetra.comBut that?s not the shape of my heart
But that?s not the shape
The shape of my heart
