CALM BEFORE THE STORM

Hotel room survivor Room without a view Bedside-table Bible Throws the book at you And you can't make your mind up If you're angry or you're dumb But you know the night before Has left you cold and numb Leave your bags unopened You feel a thousand years old In this room you've picked, feel you've been kicked Hard in the soul (And) it's the calm before the storm (And) no‐one's arms to keep you warm (any more) And as the calm before the storm descends I know I'll never, never touch you again Hotel room survivor Divided in your thoughts You multiply the reasons Add up all the naughts And you don't have to be a genius To put together two and two Everytime he's home he says He's so in love with you 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 (And) no‐one's arms to keep you warm (any more) And as the calm before the storm descends I know I'll never, never touch you again
