I’m just a hotel with a revolving door
For people passing through the town of me
Some stay for only a night
Others live here for years
Most are somewhere in between
But it’s the lovers who are always the quickest to leave
Often without saying a word
They take all the freebies, empty the fridge and call up room service in the early hours of the morning
I give them everything and only then do they pack their bags and slip out the door without looking back
I’m left all alone again in an empty room
Sheets lingering with the smell of yet another lost lover.

Let me tell you about relationships
Well, nothing new or insightful
But things we all just know
Family, romance or friendships
They’re only ever temporary
One day someone has to go
And it can be the worst pain ever
Knowing that you’ll see them never
But I tell you, don’t cry yet
Worry not dear, do not fret
For we knew the days will come
That we all lose our loved ones
Let the pain seep into you
Let it’s juice pour over you
Let your heart soak in its stew
Let it wash you through and through
And by the end I promise you
It becomes a part of you
For the grief that sliced you then
Well one day you’ll call it friend
Who sat with you in silence
And helped you reminisce
Of the good times, not the bad
But the best memories you had.

I wish I could live it all over again
I wish I could feel you again on my skin
I wish I could fall for you all over again
I wish I could wall us in to stop from breaking
Even if it ended all the same
Even if it ended with more pain
Even if it still hurts to say your name
I’d still go through it all again
