Welcome to the Heartbreak Hotel

Where the only fee for staying is 

Your heart

You give up your heart to a person

And they break it?

You’re always welcome at the Heartbreak Hotel

Where no one will judge you

No matter how you cry

You lend your soul to a person

And they take it?

You’re always welcome at the Heartbreak Hotel

Where everyone’s been there

Done that

You give your time to a person

And they waste it?

You’re always welcome at the Heartbreak Hotel

Where no matter your age

If you were in love

Everyone feels your pain

‘Cause at the Heartbreak Hotel

Everyone’s heart has been broken

Everyone’s soul has been taken

And everyone’s time has been wasted

By someone

Just remember

You’re always welcome at the Heartbreak Hotel

No matter your age

No matter how you cry

Cause at the Heartbreak Hotel

The rooms fill up quickly

‘Cause people never leave

But when you need a room

There’s always one open

And as you walk in

Someone will always say

“Welcome to the Heartbreak Hotel”

With a straight emotionless face

And hand you a key

To the room that was meant for you

So whenever you need it

Just walk right up to the door

Prepared to pay with your heart

And someone will say

“Welcome to the Heartbreak Hotel.”
