Verse 1
Late-night scene from another broken heart,
Fluorescent lights can’t hide the scars.
The machines keep humming just the same —
Love’s not mechanical, it brings the pain.
Verse 2
Each coin that drops is another goodbye,
Spin-cycle dreams, caught in the lie.
Round and round, it falls apart —
I won’t break down in this laundromat heart.
But the dryer knows the truth.
Verse 3
Changing machines, coin after coin,
Same tired rhythm I’m stuck on tonight.
Vending light flickers, the hum of the pot,
This little room’s louder than my thoughts.
Verse 4
Water splashes, voices fade,
Steam hangs thick in the heat it made.
Empty slates, a few remain —
I’m washing heartbreak, I’m rinsing pain.
Chorus
Late-night scene from another broken heart,
Fluorescent lights can’t hide the scars.
The machines keep humming just the same —
Love’s not mechanical, it makes you cry.
Each coin that drops is another goodbye,
Spin-cycle turning through the dark.
Round and round, it falls apart —
But the dryer knows the truth.
Bridge
Wash and repeat, rinse what remains,
But some things stay deep in the stains.
Love’s not mechanical, it can’t be replaced —
Heartache shows plain on a tear-streaked face.
I can fake strength, but I can’t disguise
The stains of betrayal behind my eyes.
It’s 2 A.M., and I’m still here,
Ran from a house I couldn’t bear.
Didn’t care where I went, I just had to flee —
Now the night folds its weight over me.
Chorus (Final)
Late-night scene from another broken heart,
Fluorescent lights can’t hide the scars.
The machines keep humming just the same —
Love’s not mechanical, it makes you cry.
Each coin that drops is another goodbye,
Spin-cycle dreams caught in the dark.
Round and round, it falls apart —
But the dryer knows the truth.
Outro
Round and round, it falls apart —
But the dryer knows the truth.
Late-night scene from another broken heart.
