Take The Long Way Home

I took a long hard look
At the words in that book
I had to cast my last stone
And take the long way home

I couldn't look you in the eye
And tell another lie
Have to do this on my own
I'll take the long way home, the long way home

I don't know how you feel
Or if I ever will, yeah
Do you wait by the phone
While I take the long way home, the long way home

Still here with folded hands
Hoping you understand
My mistakes are my own
But I'll take the long way home, the long way home
