Where did you go When things went wrong for you When the knives came out for you? Where did you go? All you needed was a friend You just have to ask and then You don't have to have the solution You've got to understand the problem And don't go hoping for a miracle All this will fade away So I'm coming home What did you learn Locked away all on your own Chance and your head all blown What did you learn It was unfortunate You missed you chance to find out that You don't have to have the solution You've got to understand the problem And don't go hoping for a miracle All this will fade away So I'm coming home
