[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?

[Verse 2]
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 burned my home
And all of the pieces were torn and thrown
You should know where I'm coming from

[Verse 3]
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 burned 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]
You ought to know where I'm coming from
How I was alone when I burned my home
And all of the pieces were torn and thrown
You should know where I'm coming from
You ought to know where I'm coming from
How I was alone when I burned my home
And all of the pieces were torn and thrown
You should know where I'm coming from
