"The Town That Broke My Heart" lyrics

The Town That Broke My Heart

Mister, I want a room
At the top of your hotel
I want to say goodbye
To the town I know so well

I want to ride that elevator
To the top
I want to say goodbye
To the town that broke my heart

I came here to make it big
I made my girl a vow
I really made it big alright
I'm a big old loser now

My kite just never caught the wind
My fire was just a spark
She left me here
In the town that broke my heart

So I went to take
Just one more look
At the town
That broke my heart
Now that she's gone
I'll be leaving too
And I don't know
Where to start

Yeah, to these old streets
I brought my dreams
And watched them fall apart
I lost it all
In the town that broke my heart

So, mister, I want a room
At the top of your hotel
I want to say goodbye
To the town I know so well

I want to ride that elevator
To the top
I want to say goodbye
To the town that broke my heart
