[Verse 1]
Corner booth at Rosie’s Grill
Laughin’ loud, but I just sit still
Forkin’ fries while the stories spill
’Bout high school wins and unpaid bills
I nod and smile, I play along
But inside I know something’s wrong
This script don’t fit, it’s felt too tight
Like I’ve been actin’ all my life
[Pre-Chorus]
So I start to scan the crowd tonight
The way they talk, the way they stride
In boots and blues, in summer light
I question who I am inside
[Chorus]
I’ve been sittin’ front row to myself
Staring down the cards I never dealt
Truth gets loud when the noise fades out
Now I know what silence’s all about
Yeah it got tough before it got sweet
Had to fall just to find my feet
Still ain’t like everyone else
But I’m startin’ to love
Startin’ to love
Front row to myself
[Verse 2]
Lady in red three tables down
Reads a book and don’t look around
She’s in a world that she’s made hers
Not one built from rehearsed words
Old man orders pie with pride
Says he lost his love in ’85
But talks like she’s still close at hand
And I start to understand
[Pre-Chorus]
This town wears masks like Sunday ties
And I wore mine just to survive
But I’m not broken, just miscast
And I ain’t afraid to drop the act
[Chorus]
I’ve been sittin’ front row to myself
Staring down the cards I never dealt
Truth gets loud when the noise fades out
Now I know what silence’s all about
Yeah it got tough before it got sweet
Had to fall just to find my feet
Still ain’t like everyone else
But I’m startin’ to love
Startin’ to love
Front row to myself
[Bridge]
No spotlight, no applause
Just me, relearning all my flaws
In that crowd, I found my stage
In their eyes, I turned the page
[Final Chorus]
I’ve been sittin’ front row to myself
Staring down the cards I never dealt
Truth gets loud when the noise fades out
Now I know what silence’s all about
Yeah it got tough before it got sweet
Had to fall just to find my feet
Still ain’t like everyone else
But I’m startin’ to love
Startin’ to love
Front row to myself
[Outro]
Corner booth, still sittin’ here
No more hiding, no more fear
Front row to myself
