Foolish Games

Verse 1

 You took your coat off and stood in the rain

 You're always crazy like that

 And I watched from my window

 Always felt I was outside looking in on you

 You're 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

Pre-Chorus 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

 And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart

 You're breaking my heart

Verse 2

 You're 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

 I hid my soiled hands behind my back

 Somewhere along the line, I must've gone off track with you

Pre-Chorus 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, 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

 Stood in the rain

 You're always crazy like that
