Judgements that were harsh
Did not see me change
So what if for this world
I was not meant or made?
 
I lived my life the way I felt
I did not cease to be myself
Foolishness and prejudice
Never got their way
 
And in this hotel room tonight
Of course there’s no-one by my side
In room 1005
 
Everyone has gone
The carnival’s moved on
Left behind with loneliness
My body aches from longing
 
I knew the price that I’d be charged
Living a lie was never on the cards
For I was nothing
Nothing if not honest
 
And in the Diplomat Hotel
There is one thing I know so well
I love and I am not loved
Love and I am not loved
 
Nothing else matters or makes much
Of a difference without love
To softly cradle you
Through till morning
 
3 a.m. emptiness
I do not know happiness
There hasn’t been an answer yet
And I’m always calling
 
In room 1005
