[Verse

Down by the twisted railroad tracks

A sign barely seen

A place where lost souls linger

Draped in a common dream

Windows cracked

Whispering tales

Echoes of the past

Each broken heart a memory that seems to last and last

[Verse 2

Old man at the counter

Has a coffee black as night

His eyes are weary lanterns

Flickering in the light

Talk of roads not taken

Paths of thorn and stone

Every love that left him

Left him more alone

[Chorus

Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel

Where the nights run long

A place where forgotten lovers sing their solemn song

A key to your sorrow

A room for your pain

Check in at the Heartbreak

And join the sad refrain

[Verse 3

A letter crumpled on the bed

Ink smudged with regret

Promises once golden now impossible to forget

A secret kept in shadows

A name carved in the wall

Each one here a guest of grief

In a never-ending fall

[Verse 4

Lamp on the bedside table

Casts a ghostly gloom

No morning ever breaks inside this melancholy room

Footsteps in the hallway

Fade to distant cries

In Heartbreak Hotel

Every goodnight is a goodbye

[Chorus

Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel

Where the nights run long

A place where forgotten lovers sing their solemn song

A key to your sorrow

A room for your pain

Check in at the Heartbreak

And join the sad refrain
