Broken all by myself say/ Women don't pay don't 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 won't open u the blinds to watch you/ Walk like you didn't know I was inside still praying for the day this be easy/ Heard you doing fine on the outside/ Smelling like a fresh picked rose/ Me I'm still moth balls and lost smiles, down on the pavement praying trying to make some sense of it/ And if you walked 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 see/ I never lost that first touch dreaming of that one first feeling that convinced me you were leaving/ How would you expect to breathe?/ With all of this around you say/ Now I'm in this old empty room tracing back my steps to the place where I found you/
Ring twice never come in say/ People don't change like time/ I'm sticky like the front door's deadbolt/ The side door exit wish I coulda 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 would be the scalpel to open up my doubtfuls and leave me in the back seat/ And if I pulled love 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 are human?/
What would you expect from me?/ I'm right back where I started see/ I never lost that first touch dreaming of that one first feeling that convinced me you were leaving/ How would you expect to breathe?/ With all of this around you say/ Now I'm in this old empty room tracing back my steps to the place where I found you/
Leaving.../ Leaving.../ Leaving.../ Leaving.../
Come and knock on the door/ At heartbreak hotel/ Waking up on the floor/ At heartbreak hotel/ Come and knock on the door/ At heartbreak...wait/ Maybe I don't belong/ No baby I don't belong here
