Foolish Games

Verse 1

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

Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say

 besides some comment on the weather

Pre-chorus

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

 And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart

 You're breaking my heart

 

Verse 2

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've gone off track with you

Pre-chorus

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, you're tearing me, you're tearing me apart

 And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart

 You're breaking my heart

Outro

You took your coat off and stood in the rain,

 you were always crazy like that…
