Heartbreak Hotel

Broken all by myself saying Woman don’t pay no mind Forgotten like a hotel Bible Phone keeps ringing and I’m trying to keep my mind off it And if you walk by my window I’ll open the blinds to watch you Walk by like you didn’t know I was inside still praying for the day to be easy Heard you’re doing fine on the outside Smelling like a fresh picked rose Me, I’m still mothballs and lost minds Down on the pavement praying, trying to make some sense of it And if you walk by my body Would you stop to breathe? Or would you walk by never knowing that I’m cigarette smoke floating in the glow of the TV What would you expect from me? I’m right back where I started I never lost that first touch dreaming of that one first feeling that convinced me you were leaving And how would you expect to breathe With all of this around you? Now I’m in this old empty room tracing back my steps to the place where I found you Ring twice never come in so People don’t change like time I’m sticky like the front door’s deadbolt, the side door exit, wish I could’ve learned to let go And if I came knocking on Sunday Would you wear your white dress for me? Or would you watch love through the peephole, talk through the chain blindfolded so that you never see me I heard you like picking at wounds girl Open up and let this one bleed I never thought that you’d be the scalpel to open up my doubtful and leave me in the backseat And if I pull up from the attic Would you wipe the dust off your dreams? Or would you buy back what you gave up, open up fact to your nature and admit you were human What would you expect from me? I’m right back where I started I never lost that first touch dreaming of that one first feeling that convinced me you were leaving And how would you expect to breathe With all of this around you? Now I’m in this old empty room tracing back my steps to the place where I found you Leaving….(x5) (Knock on the door, left on the floor…Leaving) x2 You made me battle alone, don’t make me battle alone (Knock on the door…Heartbreak Hotel Left on the floor…Heartbreak Hotel Knock on the door…Heartbreak Hotel You made me battle alone, don’t make me battle alone) x5
