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 the morning
smoking your cigarettes
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
your thoughtless words
are breaking my heart
you're breaking my heart

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