[Chorus: Sara Kays]
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 nor falling out of love
No fighting for control if I take the long road

[Verse 1: Powfu]
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
'O clock when I open up the door
Half this stuff just laying on the floor
Yeah, here we go, back insidе of the hailstorm
Mama at the table tеlling me she can take more

[Bridge: Powfu]
Saying that "we'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
[Chorus: Sara Kays, Sara Kays & Powfu]
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 nor falling out of love
No fighting for control if I take the long road

[Interlude: Powfu]
Mom, I'm sick of coming home everyday and seeing you cry
Let's just go, like why?
What do you see in him?
He's nothing but a piece of shit
You don't deserve this

[Verse 2: Powfu]
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'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
[Chorus: Sara Kays, Powfu, Sara Kays & Powfu]
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 nor 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)
