[Verse 1]

What if I said I would break your heart?

What if I said I have problems that made me mean?

What if I knew I would just rip your mind apart

Would you let me out?

Maybe you can stop before you start

Maybe you can see that I just may be too crazy to love

If I told you solitude fits me like a glove

Would you let me out?

[Chorus]

You ought to know where I'm coming from

How I was alone when I burnt my home

And all of the pieces were torn and thrown

You should know where I'm coming from.

[Verse 2]

What if I said I was just too young?

What if I said I was built on bricks of carelessness and crumbs

What if I said I'd be gone before I could come

Would you let me out?

[Chorus]

You ought to know where I'm coming from

How I was alone when I burnt my home

And all of the pieces were torn and thrown

You should know where I'm coming from.

[Bridge]

Your soul outweighs my own, my own

But you turn me away from my low blows

Boy, you should've known.

[Chorus x2]

You ought to know where I'm coming from

How I was alone when I burnt my home

And all of the pieces were torn and thrown

You should know where I'm coming from.
