Intro
Verse 1
Neon flickers on the diner's sign,
Steam rises off my coffee, cold as the night.
Switchblade on the table, closed but not forgot,
Jukebox stuck on three chords, playing what it's got.
Pre Chorus
You see the look in my eyes, you know the score,
I was ready to throw down, but I walked out the door.
Held my ground, didn't need to prove a thing,
Left 'em talking to themselves, heard the door swing.
Chorus
I walked away with my pride still sharp,
No blood on the pavement, just a neon heart.
Let 'em talk, let 'em stare, I got my own way,
I walked away with my pride still sharp today.
Verse 2
Barstool prophets with their whispers and their bets,
Thought I'd be the story in their cigarette regrets.
But I left 'em with nothing but a shadow on the wall,
Heard the echo of my boots as I walked down the hall.
Pre Chorus
You see the fire in my stride, you know I'm alive,
Didn't need to prove a damn thing, just had to survive.
Held my head up high, didn't need to shout,
Left 'em with their empty threats, I walked it out.
Chorus
I walked away with my pride still sharp,
No blood on the pavement, just a neon heart.
Let 'em talk, let 'em stare, I got my own way,
I walked away with my pride still sharp today.
Solo
Chorus
I walked away with my pride still sharp,
No blood on the pavement, just a neon heart.
Let 'em talk, let 'em stare, I got my own way,
I walked away with my pride still sharp today.
Outro
I walked away, yeah, I walked away,
With my pride still sharp, come what may.
