Ritz Hotel Debacle

[Verse 1] You took my ESA benefits Told trips to London Masonic walks of London Bold debacle Outside the Ritz Hotel Times two Sectioned twice My life on hold I watched the letters stack up On the cold front step I watched the calendar tear When you said, “not yet” Suitcase by the door Still zipped shut tight Every plan went quiet In the same old night [Pre-Chorus] And I kept my face up Kept my name in line But you moved the floor Every single time Now the paper trail Got my pulse in knots You call it small talk I call it what I lost [Chorus] Ritz Hotel debacle Ritz Hotel debacle You took my morning And left me with the rubble Told trips to London Told trips to London Sectioned twice, baby I been stuck in the bubble [Verse 2] Masonic walks of London Bold debacle I said I’d be back soon You said, “no, not possible” Outside the Ritz Hotel I stood there twice Same broken smile Same unpaid price And every locked-up door Had your name on it Every “we’ll see” Was a knife in my ribs I kept my record clean You kept the record cold Now I’m counting every day Like a story left untold [Pre-Chorus] And I kept my face up Kept my name in line But you moved the floor Every single time Now the paper trail Got my pulse in knots You call it small talk I call it what I lost [Chorus] Ritz Hotel debacle Ritz Hotel debacle You took my morning And left me with the rubble Told trips to London Told trips to London Sectioned twice, baby I been stuck in the bubble [Bridge] I don’t need your pity I need the truth I need my footsteps Back in the room I need the version You buried alive Not your neat little story I survived [Final Chorus] Ritz Hotel debacle Ritz Hotel debacle You took my morning And left me with the rubble Told trips to London Told trips to London Sectioned twice, baby I been stuck in the bubble Ritz Hotel debacle Ritz Hotel debacle Say my name right Let me stand in the trouble
