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 at the high life, oh

But the comedown's harder in the headlines, oh

And everybody tells you you should play the game

But there's only you to play

There's only you to play



Well 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, oh

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

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 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

Oh, it sets me free

Oh, the truth sets me free

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 free

It sets me free
