Heartbreak Hotel
Guns N' Roses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It's down at the end of lonely street
at Heartbreak Hotel.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.

And although it's always crowded,
you still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
do cry away their gloom.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.

Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.

Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
and you got a tale to tell.




Just take a walk down lonely street
to Heartbreak Hotel

Well, since my baby left me,
Ever since my significant other departed,


I found a new place to dwell.
I discovered a new location to call home.


It's down at the end of lonely street
It's located at the far end of a desolate avenue.


at Heartbreak Hotel.
It's Heartbreak Hotel.


You make me so lonely baby,
Darling, you cause me to feel extremely isolated.


I get so lonely,
I become overwhelmingly lonely.


I get so lonely I could die.
I feel so despondent that it appears life-threatening.


And although it's always crowded,
Despite consistently being busy,


you still can find some room.
it's still possible to locate a small space.


Where broken hearted lovers
A location for tormented and dejected lovers


do cry away their gloom.
to shed tears until their sadness dissipates.


Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
The employee that carries luggage is often weeping,


and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
and the person behind the counter is wearing all black.


Well they been so long on lonely street
They have spent so much time on the bleak pathway


They ain't ever gonna look back.
that they will never reflect on their past.


Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
Listen closely, if your sweetheart leaves you,


and you got a tale to tell.
and you have a story to share.


Just take a walk down lonely street
Simply take a stroll down the barren avenue

and arrive at Heartbreak Hotel.
