There's a heartbreak hotel in each one of us,
Where people come and go.

It has walls with fist-shaped holes,
And on the tables half empty wine bottles.
There are songs still playing in empty rooms
And half melted candles,
The flame dying slowly.
There are clothes on the floor,
The leftovers of shared intimacy.
And the air smells like gun powder,
From all the words that were fired like bullets
Aimed not to wound but kill.

On the phones,
There's the aftermath of hurried goodbyes
And ones that never came.

A phone that never rings
Someone that forever waits.

There are framed photos on the walls
To remember what used to be.
For people come here as lovers
And leave as broken strangers
With their insides torn
And In pieces
Their mind and heart dwelling
Thinking what if things went differently,
Feeling too many things at once.

I know,
Because I've been there.
waiting for a boy.
He was in this room,
I kept knocking on his door for days.
I should've known he wasn't alone,
That he found somebody else
To fix his heart.
But i didn't.

Therefore,
when the door cracked open
so did my heart.
