You Should Know Where I'm Coming From

[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 burned 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 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 shoulda known [Chorus] (x2) 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
