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 undestand
My mistakes are my own
But I´ll take the long way home
The long way home...
