saw your face in a photograph
pinned up on my wall
dropped a disc on the phonograph
sang the words to it all

pick up the pieces and run away
I feel so numb since you called
there's a nail in my chest
my head's full of cement
how far can I fall?

I'm so vulnerable
so vulnerable
so vulnerable

[chorus:]
was it a lie
was it a fake
a sad and beautiful mistake?
now I know you don't know where I'm coming from
eye for an eye
give me a break
I lost everything at stake
now I know you don't know where I'm coming from

wrote you a letter the other day
I just ripped it in half
I had to watch it all drain away
choke on all the thoughts of the past

yeah you're vulnerable
so vulnerable
so vulnerable

[chorus]
now I know you don't know where I'm coming from

[chorus]
and I know you don't know where I'm coming from
now I'll never know where you are coming from
