Outro :
C Am F G
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
And 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
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
Feels like I 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
