Foolish Games
-Jewel-

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
Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

You were always brilliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes
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'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
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 like that
