Lyrics
0:04It was good to be there in the bright lights mmm
0:13But I lost good friends under the spotlight woah
0:21Imagine if everybody knew your name
0:27And they had nothing nice to say nothing nice to say
0:36It was good to be living up the high life woah
0:44But the comedowns harder in the headlights woah
0:52Everybody tells you you should play the game
0:59But there's only you to play there's only you to play
1:06And I tried
1:13I set fire to the glory
1:17I set fire to the dream
1:21I set fire to the only thing
1:25That lead me from the streets
1:29Don't tell me it's over cause I don't want to believe
1:37Cause now I've opened my eyes and I have found a way to breathe
1:45The truth sets me free
1:51I broke my back to make a breakthrough mmm
1:59I lost my mind look what it came to oh
2:06I had to lose it all so I could understand woah
2:15I was just a boy in the shadow of a man
2:20I set fire to the glory
2:24I set fire to the dream
2:28I set fire to the only thing
2:31That lead me from the streets
2:36Don't tell me it's over cause I don't want to believe
2:44Cause now I've opened my eyes and I have found a way to breathe
2:52Truth sets me free
2:59Oh the truth sets me free
3:07I set fire to the glory
3:11I set fire to the dream
3:15I set fire to the only thing
3:19That lead me from the streets
3:23Don't tell me it's over cause I don't want to believe
3:31Cause now I've opened my eyes and I have found a way to breathe
3:39The truth sets me free
3:43Oh it sets me free
3:46Oh the truth sets me
3:48It sets me free
3:54Oh the truth sets me free
3:58Oh it sets me free
4:02Oh the truth sets me free
4:06Oh it sets me
4:08Oh it sets me free yeah
It was good to be there in the bright lights mmm But I lost good friends under the spotlight woah Imagine if everybody knew your name And they had nothing nice to say nothing nice to say It was good to be living up the high life woah But the comedowns harder in the headlights woah Everybody tells you you should play the game But there's only you to play there's only you to play And I tried I set fire to the glory I set fire to the dream I set fire to the only thing That lead 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 breakthrough mmm I lost my mind look what it came to oh I had to lose it all so I could understand woah 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 lead 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 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 lead 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 it sets me free Oh the truth sets me It sets me free Oh the truth sets me free Oh it sets me free Oh the truth sets me free Oh it sets me Oh it sets me free yeah
