the truth 2016

James Arthur

It was good to be there
In the bright lights, mm
But I lost good friends
Under the spotlight, woah
Imagine if everybody knew your name
And they had nothing to say
Nothing nice to say
It was good to be living up
The high life, woah
But the comedowns harder
In the headlines, 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, mm
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
Oh, 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
Oh, the truth sets me free
Oh, the truth sets me free

It sets me free
