Walking the Long Way Home

I'm walking the long way home
Still I'm no closer to you
Now it seems the moment's unavoidable
I'm taking the long route home tonight
Like I used to do
Now it seems I lost how to be lovable
I'd kill not to be alone but this is the Paris I know
I got all these old habits creeping back to me
The misery takes its toll
Another thing I can't let go
With every step, I'm delaying the inevitable
But I just

Can't keep on pretending I'm fine
Can't keep wandering round at night
Soon this goddamn city will be the death of me if I keep
Walking the long way, walking the long way

I'm walking the long way homе
For I can't give up on you
And when I try, it proves to bе impossible
The longer I bide my time, outside, longer I deny
The bitter truth is you probably never cared at all
Starting to feel like rain, soon it'll come down hard again
And I'd rather drown a thousand times than head in
But I just

Can't keep on pretending I'm fine
Can't keep wandering round at night
Soon this goddamn city will be the death of me if I keep
Walking the long way, walking the long way
