Lyrics
Well, since my baby left me,
Expresses the singer's state after their partner left.
I found a new place to dwell.
They've found a new place to live.
Its down at the end of lonely street
Describes the location as at the end of a desolate street.
At heartbreak hotel.
Refers to this new place as "Heartbreak Hotel."
You make me so lonely baby,
The absence of the partner makes the singer feel incredibly lonely.
I get so lonely,
Reiterates the profound loneliness felt.
I get so lonely I could die.
Emphasizes extreme loneliness, suggesting it's unbearable.
And although it's always crowded,
Despite being full, there's still space for those in pain.
You still can find some room.
Implies that even in a crowded place, there's room for heartbroken individuals.
Where broken hearted lovers
Describes the occupants of the hotel as lovers dealing with heartbreak.
Do cry away their gloom.

Well, the bell hops tears keep flowin',
Depicts the continuous sorrow felt by the staff.
And the desk clerks dressed in black.

They ain't ever gonna look back.

If someone's partner leaves, they'll experience similar intense emotions.
