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

Say we'll leave soon but you're lying

I don't see your bags packed your 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

It's been a pretty bad day

Rain filling up in 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

Feels like I've been put to the test

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 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
