Foolish Games

You took your coat off
And 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

You'd teach me of honest things
Things that were daring
Things that were clean
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean

I hid my soiled hands 
Behind my back
Somewhere along the line
I must've gone off track with you

Excuse me
I think I've mistaken you for 
Somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn
Somebody more like myself

These foolish games
Are tearing me, tearing me, 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
