"Heartbreak Hotel" lyrics

"Heartbreak Hotel"

Boys arrive to me broken, looking for healing
They stand out at my doorstep
So pretty, bruised and bleeding
I build them up, bittersweet freedom
A new man that I completed
The price of a better man will leave a girl unneeded (Ooh)

What a tragic way for us to end
To fall in love and never talk again
Oh, oh, oh

Am I your rehab 'til you're sobered up?
If I take you in, will you go home to her?
Love gets hard for me to give to myself, yeah, let alone to him
Check in, check out, I'm a hotel
My love's a rehab for boys who couldn't save themselves
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, no, no, no
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, no, no, no
Oh-oh, oh-oh

I had a boy
Whose friends all thought they knew him
So bitter and so cold
But he knows that I see through 'em
My fingers in his hair
Frame tear-stained cheeks
I should've known that you were temporary
Never mine to keep

What a tragic way for us to end
To fall in love and never talk again
Oh, oh, oh

Am I your rehab 'til you're sobered up?
If I take you in, will you go home to her?
Love gets hard for me to give to myself, yeah, let alone to him
Check in, check out, I'm a hotel
My love's a rehab for boys who couldn't save themselves
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, no, no, no
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, no, no, no
Oh-oh, oh-oh
