Lyrics
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 livin' up the high life
Oh, but a comedown's harder in the headlines
Oh, 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 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 where 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
Oh, 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 where 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 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 where to breathe
The truth sets me free
I set you 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 free
Oh, sets me free
