Long Way Home
A.T.B. Lyrics

When we were together
During our time together as a couple

I thought you were the one
I believed you were my soul mate

But what I thought was love
What I felt for you, I believed to be love

To you was foolish fun
However, you only saw it as meaningless entertainment

I believed in you up to the very day
I trusted you until a certain point in time

You laughed at me and walked away
But then you disrespected me and abandoned our relationship

Now you're standing here
Currently you are present in front of me

Knocking at my door
Seeking my attention and affection by physically coming to my house

And you don't want to live
You cannot bear to exist without me

Without me anymore
In the absence of me, you cannot carry on

I don't believe in you or in the games you play
I have lost trust in you and your deceptive ways

But before you go I would like to say
However, before you depart from me, I want to express something

You came a long way
You have traveled a great distance

Going the wrong way
But you chose the incorrect path in life

I'm not giving you another chance
I will not provide you with another opportunity to hurt me

Don't settle in and park it
Please do not become too comfortable and remain stationary in my life

Because I'm not in the market
I am not interested

For a tired broken down romance
In continuing our relationship that has already deteriorated

Listen to me dear
Pay attention to me, my love

Let me make this clear
Allow me to be completely candid with you

You played the game
You have been manipulating and deceiving me all along

But now I've learned to keep score
However, I am now aware of your tactics and can see through your behavior

And you won't have the chance
You will no longer have the opportunity

To play me anymore
To continue to deceive and take advantage of me

Fool me once and that's a shame
Deceiving me once is regrettable

But fool me twice and there's no wonder who's to blame
However, if you deceive me more than once, it cannot be doubted who is at fault

Now you must decide
Now, you, my former partner, must make a decision

About your dignity
Concerning your pride and self-respect

Do you save a shred or
Will you preserve any shred of dignity and respect

Leave it all with me
Or abandon it completely and place it in my hands

What you ought to do seems plain as day
To me, it is obvious what choice you should make

But before you leave I would like to say
However, before you depart from me, I still have something to express

You came a long way
You have traveled a great distance

Going the wrong way
But you chose the incorrect path in life

I'm not giving you another chance
I will not provide you with another opportunity to hurt me

Don't settle in and park it
Please do not become too comfortable and remain stationary in my life

Because I'm not in the market
I am not interested

For a tired broken down romance
In continuing our relationship that has already deteriorated

Listen to me dear
Pay attention to me, my love

Let me make this clear
Allow me to be completely candid with you

You came a long way
You have traveled a great distance

Going the wrong way
But you chose the incorrect path in life
