00:16They found me singing, just a kid with dreams
00:20Pull me in closer, this is your team
00:23Private flights, the city lights so high
00:27Stay with me, bro, under Hollywood sky
00:30Laughed aloud in those hills at night
00:34Champagne flowing, but something ain't right
00:37I smiled for cameras, played the part
00:41But inside I felt my world fall apart
00:44They called it fun, said this is the life
00:48But every laugh cut like a knife
00:51I was just a boy in a man's game
00:55Lost pieces of me, I can't reclaim
00:58The nights they took, the silence I kept
01:02Now the weight on my chest, I never slept
01:07What they did in the dark behind closed doors
01:10Left scars on my soul forever more
01:14I smile in public, but I'm breaking inside
01:17This fame's a cage where a part of me died
01:27Mentor figure with the power in flash
01:3048 hours, let's make a splash
01:33Promises whispered, cars in the glow
01:37But the price was my piece, more than you'll know
01:40I tried to forget with the highs and the lights
01:44But the memories haunt me through endless nights
01:47They owned the game, they pulled the strings tight
01:50Took my innocence under those bright lights
01:54I wanna scream it, break the chains I wear
01:57Tell the world the truth, the cross I bear
02:01No more hiding, no more fake smiles
02:04The boy they broke is done running miles
02:08I was just a boy in a man's game
02:11Lost pieces of me, I can't reclaim
02:14The nights they took, the silence I kept
02:18Now the weight on my chest, I never slept
02:23What they did in the dark behind closed doors
02:26Left scars on my soul forever more
02:30God knows the truth and one day it'll show
02:33I'm healing now but the pain is still growing
02:38This is me
02:42Finally saying it
02:46The shadows and the lies never forget
