The Song "Foolish Games" by Jewel

Foolish Games by Jewel

You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
You're always crazy like that.
And I watched from my window,
Always felt I was outside looking in on you.
You're 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're always brilliant in the morning,
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee.
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you.
Do you love Mozart? And you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar.

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

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're always crazy like that.
