Sad Songs In A Hotel Room Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm wearin' a robe
The same ones we left on the hotel floor
Just one year ago
"Do not disturb" hangin' on the door

[Pre-Chorus]
How the hell we end up, where we did?
Don't you think it's messed up? It all went to shit
It's kind of depressin' bein' here alone
I miss you so I pick up the phone

[Chorus]
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 singin' sad songs in a hotel room
Mm
Where I once held you
I'm singin' sad songs in a hotel room
Mm

[Verse 2]
The neighbors are knockin', 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
[Pre-Chorus]
How the hell we end up where we did?
In one year, it all went to shit

[Chorus]
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 singin' sad songs in a hotel room
Ooh
Where I once held you
I'm singin' sad songs in a hotel room
Mm, ah, oh

[Bridge]
We checked in together, I never checked out
Guess it's heartbreak hotel 'cause just look at us now

[Chorus]
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 singin' sad songs in a hotel room
Mm
Where I once held you
I'm singin' sad songs in a hotel room
