Foolish Games

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (697)

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  You thoughtless words are breaking my heart  You're breaking my heart You were always brilliant in the morning  Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee  You 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  You thoughtless words are breaking my heart  You're breaking my heart You took off your coat and stood in the rain  You were always crazy like that
