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

and your thoughtless wards are breaking my heart

you're breaking my heart

you were 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, think I've mistaken you for somebody else

somebody who gave a damn

somebody more like myself

these foolish games are tearing me

you tearing me you tearing me apart

and your thoughtless wards 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
