Foolish Games

You took your coat off
Stood in the rain You're always crazy like that And I watched from my window Always felt I was outside Looking in on you You're always the mysterious one With dark eyes and careless hair You were fashionably sensitive But too cool to care 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, and These foolish games are Tearing me apart And your thoughtless words are Breaking my heart You're breaking my heart You're always brilliant In the morning Smoking your cigarettes And talking over coffee Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you You loved Mozart and You'd speak of your loved ones As I clumsily strummed my guitar Well excuse me, Guess I've mistaken you For somebody else Somebody who gave a damn Somebody more like myself These foolish games are Tearing me You're tearing me, You're tearing me apart And your thoughtless words are Breaking my heart You're breaking my heart You took your coat off, Stood in the rain You're always crazy like that |
