Heartbreak Hotels

I've had those moments like everyone else When the love that was given got put on a shelf Suddenly it turns heavy and so does the air When you're just another ex a stat to compare And suddenly there's a war running through your veins Your blood is a bullet fired at the speed of pain It's a heat sinking missile the target the heart Nature loads the gun then nurture does its part I've had my share of stays in heartbreak hotels Ecstasy to agony you know you never can tell One day it's all good or at least that's what you've been told Then in the wake of a hug turns a shoulder so cold cold You seek to explain but the words don't arrive Quite the way you expect the truth seems to lie It's later than it seems and it all becomes surreal The moment defining the spokes from the wheel And suddenly there's a war raging through your veins Your blood is a bullet fired at the speed of pain It's a heat sinking missile the target the heart Nature loads the gun then nurture does its part
