Inspired by the feelings you catch for someone who has hurt you before, "hotel room" expresses the complexities of love that aren't often discussed during this time of year.

A message relatable to many, "hotel room" expresses how little control we have over our feelings and that it's what we do with those feelings that determines our future.
