The Truth - James Arthur

It was good to be there in the bright lights, mmm
But I’ve lost good friends under the spotlight, oooh
Imagine if everybody knew your name
But they had nothing nice to say, nothing nice to say

It was good to be living off the high life, oooh
But it comedown harder in the headlight, oooh
Everybody tells me “you should play the game”
But there’s only you to play, there’s 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 street
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 breath
The truth sets me free

I broke my back to make a breakthrough, mmm
I lost my mind, look what it came to
Oooh, I had to loose it all so I could understand
Ooh, 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 street
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 breath
Ooh, the truth sets me free
Oh, the truth set 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 street
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 breath
Ooh, the truth sets me free
Oh, the truth sets me free
