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

You’re 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

You’re 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…
