Sad Songs in a Hotel Room

I'm wearing the robe
The same ones we left on the hotel floor
Just one year ago
'Do not disturb' hanging on the door

How the hell we end up where we did?
Don't you think it's messed up, it all went to shit
It's kinda depressing being here alone
I miss you so I pick up the phone

And I order room service for one
Champagne mini-bar bottles are done
I've got a balcony room with a view
Velvet curtains are closed
I'm singing sad songs in a hotel room, ooh
Where I once held you
I'm singing sad songs in a hotel room, hmm

The neighbors are knocking, they just wanna sleep
It's 3 am while my guitar gently weeps
I flip through these old magazines
Dream destinations we promised we'd see, oh-oh-oh

How the hell we end up where we did?
In one year it all went to shit

So I order room service for one
Champagne mini-bar bottles are done
I've got a balcony room with a view
Velvet curtains are closed
I'm singing sad songs in a hotel room, ooh
Where I once held you
I'm singing sad songs in a hotel room, hmm
A-a-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh

We checked in together
I never checked out
Guess it's heartbreak hotel
'Cause just look at us now

Oh, I order room service for one
Champagne mini-bar bottles are done
I've got a balcony room with a view
Velvet curtains are closed
I'm singing sad songs in a hotel room, ooh
Where I once held you
I'm singing sad songs in a hotel room

I just gotta get out of LA
I've been thinkin' of running away
I just gotta get out of this town
Lately everyone's bringing me down
I've been makin' a run for my life
I'm not sure if I'll make it tonight
I guess I've run out of things I can say
I just gotta get, I just gotta get out of LA

When I was young
My father told me not to cry in front of my mom
Said, "It's time to grow up"
And now that I'm older
I couldn't tell you the last time I cried if I want
No time now to be young
So I put on a show, slap on a smile
Don't let 'em know you're not doing all too fine
Well, I'll be fine

I just gotta get out of LA
I've been thinkin' of running away
I just gotta get out of this town
Lately everyone's bringing me down
I've been makin' a run for my life
I'm not sure if I'll make it tonight
Guess I've run out of things I can say
I just gotta get, I just gotta get out of LA

Everyone comes here but nobody leaves
Yeah, we're all only actors, no one's actually happy
It's all "Who do you know?" and "When did you know them?"
Not "Where you're from?" but "Where are you goin'?"
"How can you help me get to where I need?"
When everything is going right
They're on your side
But just as your luck runs out
They're harder to find

I just gotta get out of LA
I've been thinkin' of running away
I just gotta get out of this town
Lately everyone's bringing me down
I've been makin' a run for my life
I'm not sure if I'll make it tonight
Guess I've run out of things I can say
I just gotta get, I just gotta get out of LA

I just gotta get out of LA
I just gotta get out of LA
I just gotta get, I just gotta get

I'm not surprised you didn't call
When I almost died, you didn't care at all
Mama said you can't be mad at who you wish somebody was
Well, I'm not surprised you didn't call

I guess I got used to it
You'd kiss me 'til I forget
You're coverin' up all your sins
I blame it on us being kids
I guess you had me convinced
It's my mind that's playing tricks
After all that you did, I won't admit it's you I miss
I guess I got used to it
I guess I got, I guess I got used to it

You told our friends you hope it hurts
You left me for him with one eye over your shoulder
Stabbed me in the back and I'm the one who's saying sorry again
You told our friends you're glad it hurts

I guess I got used to it
You'd kiss me 'til I forget
You're coverin' up all your sins
I blame it on us being kids
I guess you had me convinced
It's my mind that's playing tricks
After all that you did, I won't admit it's you I miss
I guess I got used to it
I guess I got, I guess I got

Tommy asked why I'm not mad
But you're the only love I've had
And I won't say what I can't take back, no
You did things I can't forgive
But mercy don't always make sense
And I'm the one who let you in again
I can't be mad, I let you treat me like that
I guess I got used to it

I guess I got used to it
You kiss me 'til I forget
You're coverin' up all your sins
I blame it on us being kids
I guess you had me convinced
It's my mind that's playing tricks
After all that you did, I won't admit it's you I miss
I guess I got used to it
I guess I got, I guess I got used to it

She asks for a light
As our secrets spill on the window sill
We're buying more time
While we kill ourselves as we both inhale

Making believe there's a future
Is it naive to think we could work?
The second it's out, then I lose her
We're already here, so one more won't hurt
It won't hurt

But all that we are is all that we'll ever be
'Cause he's the one waiting at home
She holds my guitar as I pluck out a melody
There's only so far we can go
Next to you, but I'll never be close
So take your time while you're mine
And smoke slow

Breaking away
For the hell of it
Started innocent
I'm telling you things that I've never said
Hope I don't regret this

Making believe that we're clueless
One little spark that we won't put out
Makin' a million excuses
'Cause isn't it fun just for now?

But all that we are is all that we'll ever be
'Cause he's the one waiting at home
She holds my guitar as I pluck out a melody
There's only so far we can go
Next to you, but I'll never be close
So take your time while you're mine
And smoke slow

Addicted to illusions of a love that never was
And never will be anyway, ooh
And nicotine don't taste the same
If I'm not with you, savoring every breath we take
Play with fire, take me higher

All that we are is all that we'll ever be
'Cause he's the one waiting at home
She holds my guitar as I pluck out a melody
There's only so far we can go
Next to you, but I'll never be close
So take your time while you're mine
And smoke slow

Doc' said I got twelve hours
I called you without a second thought
Plane ride within the hour
As she pictures life without her son
Ohh, ohh, I know

One hour visitation
She beats me in chess, another round
Don't matter what we're saying
I'm just glad you made it into town
Ohh, ohh, hmm-mm, mm-mm

Save me, now I'm facing
All my fears of the unknown
I've been shakin' in my bones
Lately, I've been praying
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own

So try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet
So hold on to my hand
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
With you by my side, oh my
But don't you know, you're my lifeline?

And no, I'm not good at calling
Dad said I've fallen off the grid
We hardly say I love you
'Cause your parent's parents never did
Ohh, ohh, ooh

Save me, now I'm facing
All my fears of the unknown
I've been shakin' in my bones
Lately, I've been praying
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own

Try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet
So hold on to my hand
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
With you by my side, oh my
But don't you know, you're my lifeline?

So let go 'cause I won't waste another minute
This distance, we're drifting from difference of opinion
I can't be mad I'm not what you prayed for
I hope you know that no one else could ever

Save me
I've been praying
To a god I've never known
I can't do this on my own

Try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet
So hold on to my hand
Oh, I'll be fine for tonight
With you by my side, oh
Don't you know, you're my lifeline?

Ooh-ooh, my lifeline
Don't you know, you're my lifeline?

Get your head out the ground
Take a step back, get a good look around
I know I'll find my way out
But just 'cause it gets better, don't make it better right now

Are all of my tears gonna turn into somethin'?
Is all of this pain just for nothin'?
Just for nothin'

Well, maybe someday it'll all fade away
And the weight of the world won't be mine
And maybe I'll see at the end of the day
Who I am made it all worth the while
And these scars will be stories I tell
All in due time

All the ways that I've changed
I'm still cleanin' up all the mess that I made
The fires I'm puttin' out
Just 'cause it's over, don't mean I'm over it now

Third-degree burns
Yeah, it hurts while it's healin'
I'm still tryna get back the feelin', oh

Well, maybe someday it'll all fade away
And the weight of the world won't be mine
And maybe I'll see at the end of the day
Who I am made it all worth the while
And these scars will be stories I tell
All in due time

All in due time
Oh, all in due time
