"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

Gigi Perez - "Normalcy" I don't know why I forgive you
I just know that I do
And I guess it's been nice
Hearing from you
You say I should visit
Your place in Austin
You know that I'd love to
But we shouldn't be talking this...
Sydney Rose - "Unmade Bed" If I could change today
Be more soft to make you stay
I would be anything
Change my moon to a shiny day
Maybe then I could be
Half of what you want from me
You're an unmade bed
The sunlight creeps...
FLETCHER - "D i s t a n c e" I need a little space and time
Maybe like out on the moon
So baby, get the rocket ship
Ready, set, I'm not coming back that soon
It's all I can do to stop myself
From calling you up and and causing...
Susannah Joffe - "Antler Queen" This one hurts just right
I love and lose, I'm a dog that just won't bite
So, baby, come back and bend me
'Til I break and return running
My sorceress, my anarchist, my beloved, my true love's kiss...
Nessa Barrett - "BLUE VALENTINE" Wrote your name in a heart
So, tell me why you carved mine into a scar?
You play it so damn cool, 'cause, baby, you are
I burn red for you
But all you ever do
Is make me
Blue valentine
You say that...
