The Truth
It was good to be there in the bright lights, oh
But I lost good friends under the spotlight, oh
Imagine if everybody knew your name
But they had nothing nice to say, nothing nice to say
It was good to be living up the high life, oh
But the come down's harder in the headlines, oh
Everybody tells you, you should play the game
But there is only you to play, there is only you to play
But I tried
I set fire to the glory
I set fire to the dream
I set fire to the only thing
That led me from the streets
Don't tell me it's over, 'cause I don't want to believe
'Cause now I've opened my eyes and I have found a way to breathe
The truth sets me free
I broke my back to make a break through, oh
I lost my mind, look what it came to, oh
I had to lose it all so I could understand, oh
I was just a boy in the shadow of a man
I set fire to the glory
I set fire to the dream
I set fire to the only thing
That led me from the streets
Don't tell me it's over, 'cause I don't want to believe
'Cause now I've opened my eyes and I have found a way to breathe
The truth sets me free
Oh, the truth sets me free
I set fire to the glory
I set fire to the dream
I set fire to the only thing
That led me from the streets
Don't tell me it's over, 'cause I don't want to believe
'Cause now I've opened my eyes and I have found a way to breathe
The truth sets me free, oh sets me free
Oh, the truth sets me, it sets me free
Oh, the truth sets me free
Oh, sets me free
Oh, the truth sets me
Oh, sets me, oh, it sets me free, yeah
But I lost good friends under the spotlight, oh
Imagine if everybody knew your name
But they had nothing nice to say, nothing nice to say
It was good to be living up the high life, oh
But the come down's harder in the headlines, oh
Everybody tells you, you should play the game
But there is only you to play, there is only you to play
But I tried
I set fire to the glory
I set fire to the dream
I set fire to the only thing
That led me from the streets
Don't tell me it's over, 'cause I don't want to believe
'Cause now I've opened my eyes and I have found a way to breathe
The truth sets me free
I broke my back to make a break through, oh
I lost my mind, look what it came to, oh
I had to lose it all so I could understand, oh
I was just a boy in the shadow of a man
I set fire to the glory
I set fire to the dream
I set fire to the only thing
That led me from the streets
Don't tell me it's over, 'cause I don't want to believe
'Cause now I've opened my eyes and I have found a way to breathe
The truth sets me free
Oh, the truth sets me free
I set fire to the glory
I set fire to the dream
I set fire to the only thing
That led me from the streets
Don't tell me it's over, 'cause I don't want to believe
'Cause now I've opened my eyes and I have found a way to breathe
The truth sets me free, oh sets me free
Oh, the truth sets me, it sets me free
Oh, the truth sets me free
Oh, sets me free
Oh, the truth sets me
Oh, sets me, oh, it sets me free, yeah
