Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love is someone
Having the ability
To destroy you
But trusting them not to
I trusted you not to
Its all good i got you
Welcome to my heartbreak anniversary
The ones thats hurting me
See i check into that
Heartbreak hotel
How i do a crime with
My wife in that hotel
That was weak of u baby
That was so frial
When i needed u baby
It was slow snail
Where was u at
When i needed to post bail
Got my bread and my cards
Money spent
Remanded no bail
Damn
Since your not around
For me to tell me you
Pretty lady face to face
Im writing you
This virtual love letter
Listen to what i have to say
All a nigga wanted
Was some of your time
Instead you told me lies
With that other nigga on your mind
Look how u move with me
As i sit in this cell
With this dv thinking
Why i deal with this foolery
Thought you could be
The one to prove to me
That love was more then
Money fashion or jewelry
But i guess its true to see
That you just was using me
It was always me for you
Never you for me
It was always me for you
Never you for me
But welcome to my
Heartbreak hotel
Shit just a upgraded motel
Look good shows well
The same shit goes on
In it oh well
I know so well because
Because your actions show so well

Money fashion or jewelry
Materialistic possessions
But i guess its true to see
I must accept the reality that
That you just was using me
You were only taking advantage of me
It was always me for you
You only cared about yourself
Never you for me
You never prioritized me
But welcome to my
Nevertheless, welcome to
Heartbreak hotel
The place where I experience heartbreak
Shit just a upgraded motel
A vulgar way of saying that the place of heartbreak has been upgraded
Look good shows well
Appearances can be deceiving
The same shit goes on
The same painful events keep happening
In it oh well
An expression of acceptance towards the unfortunate events
I know so well because
I am an expert in the subject matter
Because your actions show so well
Based on your behavior, it is evident what is really going on
