The Long Way Home Lyrics by Alexis Strum

Cocoon (Reissue)

0

Wait
There's something I gotta say to you
Something I've always wanted to
Always on my mind
Please, don't put it all on me
It was never meant to be
I gave in too easily
And I'm scared, and I'm tired
I don't wanna fight
I can't change the world
I haven't got the nerve
And I'm wrong and I'm right
But it's set in stone
Did you ever love somebody so
You turn around and let them go?
I'll take the long way home
I'll take the long way home
Hide, hide away your grace
It's too good to waste
On a fool like me
Run, run that river dry
Tears that I don't cry
Memories won't fade and die
And I'm scared, and I'm tired
I don't wanna fight
I can't change the world
I haven't got the nerve
And I'm wrong and I'm right
But it's set in stone
Did you ever love somebody so
You turn around and let them go?
I'll take the long way home
I'll take the long way home
Did you ever have to tear yourself
Did you ever have to tear yourself
Did you ever have to tear yourself away?
Did you ever have to bear yourself
With no way to prepare yourself
Did you ever have to tear yourself away?
