[Verse 1] They wrote me off in pencil Thought they used a pen Laughed behind the glass Like I couldn't see them grin Said he's all talk He's a dreamer, he's done Funny how the quiet ones Are the ones that come I stopped defending Stopped explaining what I'm building You can't argue with a doubter So I let them keep the feeling I put my head back down Where the real work hides 'Cause the loudest thing I own Is the fire behind my eyes [Pre-Chorus] So let them talk Let them doubt Let them sleep on my name The comeback don't knock It don't announce It just came [Chorus] Let them, let them Let them count me out I don't need the crowd I don't need the shout I'll be quiet as a fuse In the dark of the room While they laugh at the spark They forget what it do Let them, let them Let them look away I don't move for the applause I move anyway By the time they turn around It's already done You can doubt a man in silence Watch him let the work run [Verse 2] Every no was a brick So I built with the pile Every door that closed on me I just walked another mile They don't owe me belief And I don't owe them a show I'll take the longest road Just to prove I don't need to be told See doubt is just fuel That they hand you for free And the ones who bet against you Fund the man you'll be So thank them when they leave Tip your hat to the hate It's the wind at your back When you're running through the gate [Chorus] Let them, let them Let them count me out I don't need the crowd I don't need the shout I'll be quiet as a fuse In the dark of the room While they laugh at the spark They forget what it do Let them, let them Let them look away I don't move for the applause I move anyway By the time they turn around It's already done You can doubt a man in silence Watch him let the work run [Bridge] I don't talk about the mountain I just wear the climb You'll know that I was serious By the marks I leave behind No highlight, no announcement No watch me in advance Just a quiet kind of dangerous That never needs a chance Let them write the story wrong Let them call it luck Let them say they saw it coming When they never gave a By the time the world agrees I'll be three lives ahead Still the same one in the dark Doing what they said was dead [Final Chorus] Let them, let them Let them count me out I don't need the crowd I don't need the shout I'll be quiet as a fuse In the dark of the room While they laugh at the spark They forget what it do Let them, let them Let them look away I don't move for the applause I move anyway By the time they turn around It's already done You can doubt a man in silence Watch him let the work run [Outro] So let them Let them talk I'll be right here In the quiet Letting the work Do the walk
