[Verse 1]
Where did you go?
When things went wrong for you?
When the knives came out for you?
Where did you go?

And don't go hoping for a miracle
All this will fade away
So I'm coming home, I'm coming home
You don't have to have the solution
You've got to understand the problem
And don't go hoping for a miracle, yeah
All this will fade away
So I'm coming home, I'm coming home
I'm coming home, but just for a short while
