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
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

And these foolish games are tearing me apart
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

You were always brilliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes, and talking over coffee
Your philosophies on art Baroque moved you loved Mozart
And you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar

Well excuse me, 'cause I've mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself
And 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

You took your coat off
And stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that
