Neon Don’t Heal Nothing

Verse 1

I walked in just to kill some time

But time’s the thing I can’t outrun

Bartender poured me something strong

Said “Rough night?” I said “Just one”

But every stool looks like we sat there

Every song sounds like your name

Every light in this place is shining

But none of it feels the same

Verse 2

I tried drowning you in whiskey

Tried dancing you off my mind

Tried laughing like I don’t miss you

Like I’m doing just fine

But the louder that band keeps playing

The quieter I feel inside

Like the truth is sitting beside me

And I can’t drink it away tonight

Pre-Chorus

You can fake a smile, you can fake a buzz

But you can’t fake love when it’s really gone

Chorus

Neon don’t heal nothing

It just lights up what you lost

Makes you see it clearer

Every memory, every cost

Yeah the louder this bar gets buzzing

The more I hear your goodbye

Neon don’t heal nothing

It just keeps you on my mind

Verse 3

I stepped outside for a minute

Let the cold air hit my face

Thought maybe I could outrun it

But you were in that empty space

In the silence of that parking lot

With the engine idling low

I realized it ain’t this place

It’s everywhere I go

Bridge

Some wounds don’t bleed where you can see

They hide in the heart and cut quietly

Final Chorus (Stripped → Big)

Neon don’t heal nothing

Not a damn thing inside

It just shines on the pieces

Of a love that died

Yeah I came here to forget you

But all I did was try

Neon don’t heal nothing

And neither do I
