| 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 |
