the long way home lyrics

[Chorus]

They ask why I take so long to get home

I know that I live close, but I took the long road

There’s no screaming or falling out of love

No fighting for control if I take the long road

[Verse]

I’ma take the long way home

‘Cause walking through that door is not easy

I don’t walk fast for a reason

And I don’t care if anyone sees me

I was happy until this shit happened

They all laugh ’cause they don’t understand it

I get violent at school and I’ve had it

I never get anything that I’m asking for

‘O clock when I open up the door

Half this stuff just laying on the floor

Yeah, here we go, back insidе of the hailstorm

Mama at the table tеlling me she can’t take more

[Bridge]

Saying “I will leave soon,” but you’re lying

I don’t see your bags packed and I’m trying

What do you see in him and his demons?

If I call the cops, you can’t keep secrets

[Chorus]

They ask why I take so long to get home

I know that I live close, but I took the long road

There’s no screaming or falling out of love

No fighting for control if I take the long road

[Interlude]

Mom, I sick of coming home everyday and seeing you crying

Let’s just go, let’s run

What do you see in him?

He doesn’t matter, he’s a piece of shit

Are you fucking serious?

[Verse]

It’s been a pretty bad day

Rain filling up my bag

Good thing I don’t care about homework

My teacher needs to go and get a soul first

My life at home is a mess, yeah

Feel like I’ve been put to the test

My parents never shut up with complaining

I know life is hard, just learn to take it

If I left, I wonder if they’d notice?

I’d take the cat and not the path they’ve chosen

I’ll start a new life once again

Sleep in a bag on an old park bench

[Chorus]

They ask why I take so long to get home

I know that I live close (I live close), but I took the long road (I take the long road)

There’s no screaming or falling out of love (Falling out)

No fighting for control if I take the long road (I’m so alone, it’s a long walk home)
