Jewel Kilcher - foolish games





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
and your thoughtless wards 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
you loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
as I clumsily strummed my guitar
well 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 you tearing me you tearing me apart
and your thoughtless wards 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
