Foolish Games

 

You took your coat off and stood in the rain 
You were always crazy like that 
I watched from my window 
Always felt I was outside looking in on you 
You were always the mysterious one with dark eyes and careless hair 
You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care 
Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say 
Besides some comment on the weather 
Well in case you failed to notice, in case you failed to see 
This is my heart bleeding before you, this is me down on my knees 

These foolish games are tearing me apart 
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart 
You're breaking my heart 

You were always brilliant in morning 
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee 
You philosophies on art, Baroque moved you 
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones 
As I clumsily strummed my guitar 
You'd teach me of honest things 
Things that were daring, things that were clean 
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean 
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back 
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you 
Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else 
Somebody who gave a damn, somebody more like myself 

These foolish games are tearing me apart 
You're tearing me, tearing me, tearing me apart 
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart 
You're breaking my heart 

You took off your coat and stood in the rain 
You were always crazy like that
