it's the way 

people always talk about you when you're not around its the way 

that i feel the second that i'm back in town 

i never promised a thing 



i'm walkin' alone it's gotta be this way 

i haven't seen you in so long (so long so long)

i know that you're home 

i think it's better when 

i can see you then i'm gone 



and it feels like dying it's 

12 for you but it's 3 a.m. for me 

another missed call but i'm not running away

believe me if i could i would stay 



i'm walkin' alone it's gotta be this way 

i haven't seen you in so long (so long so long)

i know that you're home 

i think it's better when 

i can see you then i'm gone



my perception is fading to blue 

yet direction is stuck on you 

you can't wait 

you keep on anticipating it's so irritating 

everything that i hate 



this is so brand new 

i'm stuck on you 

it seems i'm lying 

i try not to try 

but the days go by so slow you're 



walkin' alone its gotta be this way 

i haven't seen you in so long (so long so long) 

i know that you're home 

i think its better when 

i can see you then i'm gone 



i'm walkin' alone it's gotta be this way 

i haven't seen you in so long (so long so long)

i know that you're home 

i think it's better when 

i can see you then i'm gone



and i'm walkin' away from you 

maybe something way too soon 

and i'm walkin' away from you 

this is something so brand new
