This chamber’s made of echos
This house is a mirage
The pavement’s only pot holes
And the streets will get you lost
The sun is made of candle wax
And the water’s made of beer
It’s Heartbreak City over here

The bed is made of ice cubes
The pillows disappeared
The nights are made of sleepless
And the days are made of tears
I’m not scared of dying
Just living my worst fear
It’s Heartbreak City over here

Where sidewalk ends
The bridges are in flames
I can’t begin again
Different face and different name
As I allow your memory
To haunt me through the years
It’s Heartbreak City over here

The field is made of broken dreams
The bleachers made of pity
The parking lot ain’t paradise
In Heartbreak City
The air is made of lead
And the water’s made of beer
It’s Heartbreak City over here
