Foolish Games
by Jewel:
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 about the weather.
Well, in case you failed to notice, in case you failed to see:
This is my bleeding heart 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.
Breaking my heart.
You were always brilliant in the morning,
Smoking your cigarettes,
And talking over coffee.
Your philosophies an 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 have gone off-track with you.
Excuse me,
Think I must have mistaken you for somebody else, Somebody who gave a damn.
Somebody more like myself.
(Chorus):
These foolish games are tearing,
Are tearing me…. tearing me apart. me apart.
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart.
Breaking my heart.
You took your coat off,
And stood in the rain.
You were always crazy like that. |
