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 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
The clog when I open up the door
Half this stuff just laying on the floor
Yeah, here wе go, back inside of the hailstorm
Mama at the tablе telling me she can't take more

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

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 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?

It's been a pretty bad day
Rain filling up my bed
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

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)
