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
I'ma take the long way home
'Cause walking through that door's 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 when I've had it
I never get anything that I'm asking
Four o'clock when I open up the door
Half their stuff is laying on the floor
Yeah, here we go back inside of the hail storm
Mama at the table telling me she can't take more
Sayin' "I'll leave soon" but you're lying
I don't see your bags packed, you're not trying
What do you see in him and his demons?
If I call the cops you can't keep secrets
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
(Mom, I'm sick of coming home every day and seeing you crying)
(Let's just go, like why? What do you see in him?)
(He's nothing but a piece of shit, you don't deserve him)
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 been a mess, yeah
Feels like I been put to the test
My parents never shut up with complaining
All 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
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 (I'm so alone) if I take the long road
(It's a long walk home)
