Foolish Games


 Written by Jewel Kilcher/ From the Album ”Pieces Of You” / 1995 Atlantic



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
