Below, you will find the lyrics for The Truth by James Arthur.
Verse 1
It was good to be there in the bright lights
But i lost good friends under the spotlight
Imagine if everybody knew your name
But they had nothing nice to say, nothing nice to say
It was good to be living up the high life
But the comedown's harder in the headlines
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
Chorus 1
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
Verse 2
I broke my back to make a breakthrough
I lost my mind, look what it came to
I had to lose it all so i could understand
I was just a boy in the shadow of a man
Chorus 2
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
The truth sets me free
Bridge
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
Chorus 3
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
It sets me free
It sets me free
The truth sets me free
It sets me free
The truth sets me free
It sets me free
The truth sets me free
It sets me free
It sets me free
