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 crazy like that
