It was overpowering
It was earsplitting
It was unbecoming
And it was me
I watched myself follow him
Up the hotel stairs
And there, my devils caught me
On the Marriott roof
They teased me, they broke me, and they took me
Lower than I've ever felt
Higher than I've ever been
Up and up, the view was beautiful
But I was alone and burning
Oh, the heat, the fire, the flame
I only wanted to go back
We begged and screamed
But no one came
I even let them get away
Once it was over, they left me cold
My other half, she left me cold
They left me on the bathroom floor
In some Ohio hotel
I woke alone, bewildered
And I remembered nothing
Nothing happened on the roof
On the stairs or in his room
And my devils stood clear
But they were smiling
And I knew
It was over and I confessed
To my baby in LA
His voice was so low, but I heard it all
I still hear it now
He should have left me then
But he came to me
And kept me warm
Still he could not drive my dreams away
That night I cried
I cried and tried to sleep
I dreamt of death
I dreamt I killed my baby and myself
I dreamt of heat, of fire, of flame
I dreamt of stairs and rooftops
Hotel rooms, the shame
Of going back to the same
But I had given up my hands
And I had done his work
So I left everything behind
My heart and soul and mind
They are somewhere on that bathroom floor
In an old Ohio hotel
