Kady Malloy - 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

Chorus:
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

(Chorus)

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