you took your coat off
and stood in the rain
you're always crazy like that........
and i watch form 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 comments on the weather...
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 WORDS
ARE BREAKING MY HEART
they're breaking my heart...
you're always brilliant in the morning
smoking your cigarette and talking over coffee
your philosophy on art. baroque moved you. you love mozart
and you think of your loved ones as i clumsily strum my guitar.
you teach me of honest things
this that were daring, things that were clean
things that i knew what an honest dollar did mean
i HID MY SOILED BARE HANDS BEHIND MY BACK
somewhere along the line, i must have gone off track with you...
EXCUSE ME
HAVE I MISTAKEN YOU FOR SOMEBODY ELSE?????
SOMEBODY WHO GIVES A DAMN!!!!!! SOMEBODY MORE LIKE MYSELF....
these FOOLISH GAMES
ARE TEARING ME!!!!!!
THEY'RE TEARING ME!!!!!!!!!
TEARING ME APART!!!!!!
and you're THOUGHTLESS WORDS
are BREAKING MY HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEE'RE BREAKING MY HEART..........
i never knew the true meaning of the lyrics until i sang them with the accompaniment of my piano...
foolish games do tear hearts apart, set them on fire, burn them into ashes...
they can stab your hearts mercilessly
unfiltered words and actions....
like sharp tiny fragments of hot metal, piercing through your helpless heart!
i never knew the meaning until this moment.
the moment when i am left to slowly and painfully pull out the tiny fragments
alone....
all by myself...
it is a foolish game with deadly consequences.
i am well aware of it...
but...
i still play along...
ha!
foolish me...
