The Long Way

Lord knows I didn’t ask for this
I’ve had so many chances for redemption that I missed
I guess that’s what you get
Cause I passed a lot of wrong way signs
That haven’t stopped me yet

On this lonely road
I still got miles to go

I take the long way to the bottom
Out forgetting all the damage that I’ve done
There’s a stranger in the mirror
Does he look like someone I used to know
I can’t even see me
Just a man that’s empty
I don’t want to be myself today
I take the long way

Sitting here alone again
I’d take another hit of anything
To help me to forget
No I wasn’t raised to quit
But if I don’t quit something
I’ll have nothing left to give

I take the long way to the bottom
Out forgetting all the damage that I’ve done
There’s a stranger in the mirror
And he look like someone that I used to know
I can’t even see me
Just a man that’s empty
I don’t want to be myself today
Always take the long way
I always take the long way

On this lonely road
Where I lost my sould
On this lonely road
I still got miles to go

I took the long way to the bottom
And I can’t change all of these things I’ve done
But that stranger in the mirror
Now could that be the man I used to know
And maybe if I’d see me
Not a man that’s empty
Something’s going to change in me I know
I always take the long way

I always take the long way
Take the long way
