Hotel room survival
Room without a view
Beside table Bible
Throws the book at you
And you can't make your mind up
If you're angry or your dumb
But you know the night before
Has left you cold and numb
Leave your bags unopened
And feel a thousand years old
In this room you've picked
You feel you've been kicked
Hard in the soul
And it's the calm before the storm
No one's arms to keep you warm
And as the calm before the storm descends
I know I'll never, never touch you again
Hotel room survivor
Divided in your thoughts
Multiply the reasons
Add up all the naughts
You don't have to be a genius
To put together two and two
But every time he's home
He says he's so in love with you
But lies and poor excuses
Will always be the same
And it's never you that chooses
To be left out in the rain
And it's the calm before the storm
No one's there to keep you warm anymore
And as the calm before the storm descends
I know I'll never, ever touch you again
