the long way home

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 Here we go back inside of the hail storm Mama at the table telling me she can't take more Saying "I will 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 nothing but a piece of shit You don't deserve this 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 Feel 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)
