Intro
(Whispered harmonies)
Yeah...
Mm-mm...
Turn the lights up...
You know who it is...
Verse 1
Chrome reflections on my skin tonight,
Flashbulbs poppin', baby, catch the light.
They said, "Play it safe,"
I never learned the rules,
Phoenix in designer boots,
I make my own moves.
Walk in slow motion,
Heads turn like a scene,
Got that late-night confidence,
Straight out your TV screen.
Pre-Chorus
No permission,
No apology,
I don't shrink to fit your fantasy.
You can watch,
But you can't control me.
Chorus
I'm a neon heart,
Burnin' through the dark,
Dancin' like nobody owns me.
Watch me leave my spark.
I'm a neon heart,
Electric work of art,
Got that fire they remember,
Even after I depart.
Oh-oh...
You can feel it from the start.
I'm a neon heart.
Verse 2
Baggy denim, glossy lips,
Gold around my fingertips.
Every scar became a melody,
Every fall became a hit.
Talk is cheap,
I built the stage,
Now they're singin' every page.
Can't dim a girl
Who learned to glow
Inside her own flame.
Pre-Chorus
No permission,
No apology,
I don't shrink to fit your fantasy.
You can watch,
But you can't control me.
Chorus
I'm a neon heart,
Burnin' through the dark,
Dancin' like nobody owns me.
Watch me leave my spark.
I'm a neon heart,
Electric work of art,
Got that fire they remember,
Even after I depart.
Bridge
(Layered harmonies)
From ashes...
To spotlight...
Every heartbreak taught me how to shine.
No savior...
No rescue...
Baby, I became my own lifeline.
Ooh...
Ooh...
Final Chorus
I'm a neon heart,
Burnin' through the dark,
Every dream they doubted
Only made me stronger.
I'm a neon heart,
Never fall apart,
Phoenix in the midnight,
Dancin' through the fire.
Oh-oh...
Remember who you are.
You're a neon heart.
Outro
(Soft ad-libs fading out)
Neon heart...
Still glowin'...
Still glowin'...
Mm-mm...
Yeah...
