[Verse] You got a front-row opinion From the back of the room You count every mistake I make Like you've got nothing else to do You shake your head at every move You laugh when I fall down But I've been running while you're talking And I'm still here when you leave town [Pre-Chorus] So keep your little comments coming Let them roll right off my skin You wanted me to play it safe I never planned to fit in [Chorus] Cheap seats You can watch me burn Cheap seats Waiting for my turn Cheap seats You don't know what it takes Cheap seats I'm making my own mistakes Hey! Hey! Let it roll! Hey! Hey! Lose control! Cheap Seats [Verse] You know the ending before it starts You've seen this all before You draw your lines around my life Then wonder what I'm fighting for You call it reckless, call it dumb Call it a waste of time But every word you throw at me Just makes me cross another line [Pre-Chorus] Now the room is getting louder And your voices disappear You can keep your perfect answers I don't need them anywhere near [Chorus] Cheap seats Throw your judgment down Cheap seats Try to drown me out Cheap seats You can scream until you're gone Cheap seats I've been moving all along Go! Go! Turn it up! Go! Go! That's enough! Cheap Seats [Verse] Now you're standing at the exit Still explaining what went wrong While the ones who never joined in Wonder where they don't belong I don't need a clean confession I don't need a victory You can keep your empty verdicts They don't get the final word from me [Bridge] No more waiting No more watching No more asking if I'm right If you want to know what happens Get out of your seat tonight [Pre-Chorus] The lights are going down now There's nothing left to defend You had your chance to join the fight This is where the silence ends [Final-Chorus] Cheap seats Keep your eyes on me Cheap seats Watch me disagree Cheap seats Every scar was mine to earn Cheap seats Now there's nowhere left to turn [Outro] You can talk You can stare You can point I don't care Cheap seats... Cheap seats... Cheap seats...
