it's the way
people always talk about you when you're not around its the way
that i feel the second that i'm back in town
i never promised a thing

i'm walkin' alone it's gotta be this way
i haven't seen you in so long (so long so long)
i know that you're home
i think it's better when
i can see you then i'm gone

and it feels like dying it's
12 for you but it's 3 a.m. for me
another missed call but i'm not running away
believe me if i could i would stay

i'm walkin' alone it's gotta be this way
i haven't seen you in so long (so long so long)
i know that you're home
i think it's better when
i can see you then i'm gone

my perception is fading to blue
yet direction is stuck on you
you can't wait
you keep on anticipating it's so irritating
everything that i hate

this is so brand new
i'm stuck on you
it seems i'm lying
i try not to try
but the days go by so slow you're

walkin' alone its gotta be this way
i haven't seen you in so long (so long so long)
i know that you're home
i think its better when
i can see you then i'm gone

i'm walkin' alone it's gotta be this way
i haven't seen you in so long (so long so long)
i know that you're home
i think it's better when
i can see you then i'm gone

and i'm walkin' away from you
maybe something way too soon
and i'm walkin' away from you
this is something so brand new
