It was good to be thereIn the bright lights, mmBut I lost good friendsUnder the spotlight, woahImagine if everybody knew your nameAnd they had nothing to sayNothing nice to sayIt was good to be living upThe high life, woahBut the comedowns harderIn the headlines, woahEverybody tells youYou should play the gameBut there's only you to playThere's only you to playAnd I triedI set fire to the gloryI set fire to the dreamI set fire to the only thingThat lead me from the streetsDon't tell me it's overCause I don't want to believeCause now I've opened my eyesAnd I have found a way to breatheThe truth sets me freeI broke my back to make a breakthrough, mmI lost my mind, look what it came to, ohI had to lose it allSo I could understand, woahI was just a boy in the shadow of a manI set fire to the gloryI set fire to the dreamI set fire to the only thingThat lead me from the streetsDon't tell me it's overCause I don't want to believeCause now I've opened my eyesAnd I have found a way to breatheOh, the truth sets me freeOh, the truth sets me freeI set fire to the gloryI set fire to the dreamI set fire to the only thingThat lead me from the streetsDon't tell me it's overCause I don't want to believeCause now I've opened my eyesAnd I have found a way to breatheOh, the truth sets me freeOh, the truth sets me freeIt sets me free
