The cold hard truth
Lives inside these four walls
Her shadow's in every room
She echoes down these halls

Her memory's too strong to fight
Reality's too hard to face
So I spend every night
In a barstool kind of place

Where the neon lies
Everything's alright
Whiskey melts a cold goodbye
Yeah, the jukebox plays
And my heart don't break
'Cause I believe that she'll come back in time

Where the neon lies
She won't find someone else
'Cause she'll miss me way too bad
In here I convince myself
Oh, she'll want what we had

Beer after beer
I chase this whiskey down
In this buzzing blue light atmosphere
The truth don't hang around

Where the neon lies
Everything's alright
Whiskey melts a cold goodbye
Yeah, the jukebox plays
And my heart don't break
'Cause I believe that she'll come back in time

Oh, where the neon lies
Yeah, that jukebox plays
So my heart don't break
Oh, 'cause I believe that she'll be back in time

I start seeing things in a different light
Where the neon lies
Where the neon lies
Oh, where the neon lies
