Текст James Arthur – The Truth

It was good to be there in the bright lights, whoa
But I lost good friends under the spotlight, whoa
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, whoa
But a comedown’s harder in the headlines, whoa
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, whoa
I lost my mind, look what it came to, oh
I had to lose it all so I could understand, whoa
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, it sets me free
Oh, the truth sets me
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
Oh, it sets me free
