Foolish Games Lyrics

You took your coat off and stood in the rain,

You were always crazy like that

and 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

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 words are breaking my heart

You're breaking my heart

You were always brilliant in the morning

Smoking you cigarettes, talking over coffee

Your philosophies on are, Baroque moved you,

You loved Mozart and you'd speak of you loved ones

As I clumsily strummed my guitar

Well excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else

Somebody who gave a damn,

Somebody more like myself

These foolish games are tearing me, tearing me,

your tearing me apart,breaking my heart

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
