I walked straight to my car when I left work today
I hurried across town in my usual way
I pulled up in our driveway and walked to the door
When suddenly I remembered I don't live here anymore
The force of habit made me forget that I lost you yesterday
Today
The rush to you is an impulse I unconsciously obey
It might take some time to see that it must be this way
You can't expect me to break the force of habit in one day
Did it upset the kids when I came by today?
And tell me, did they cry when I walked away?
Those few steps were the longest walk
That I'll ever take
For being there with you and them
Is a habit hard to break
You can't expect me to break
The force of habit in one day
