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

Bridge 1
   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

Chorus
   These foolish games are tearing me apart
   Your thoughtless words 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
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 have gone off track with you

Bridge 2
   Excuse me; think I’ve mistaken you for somebody else
   Somebody who gave a damn, somebody more like myself

Chorus
   These foolish games are tearing me, tearing me, tearing me apart
   Your 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
