Walking the Long Way Home

I'm walking the long way home
Still I'm no closer to you
Now it seems the moments 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
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 goddam city will be the death of me if I keep
Walking the long way walking the long way
Walking the long way walking the long way
Walking the long way walking the long way
Walking the long way walking the long way

I'm walking the long way home
For I can't give up on you
And when I try it proves to be impossible
The longer I bide my time outside the 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 goddam city will be the death of me if I keep
Walking the long way walking the long way
Walking the long way walking the long way
Walking the long way walking the long way
Walking the long way walking the long way

Saying I'm fine
Walking at night
Soon this city
Be the death of me
Saying I'm fine
Walking at night
Soon this city
Be the death of me

Corner to corner
Mile after mile
No closer to home now
I'm in denial
Rat on the roadside
Rain in the streetlights
Heart on the lookout
Hope in the headlights
Corner to corner
Mile after mile
No closer to home now
I'm in denial
Rat on the roadside
Rain in the streetlights
Heart on the lookout

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