Foolish Games
Heartbreak Symphony: Unraveling the Tapestry of Love
Lyrics
You took your coat off, stood in the rain
You removed your coat and stood in the rain.
You're always crazy like that
Your behavior is consistently unpredictable or eccentric.
And I watched from my window
I observed from my window.
Always felt I was outside looking in on you
I always felt like an outsider looking into your life.
You're always the mysterious one with
You always have an air of mystery with dark eyes and carefree hair.
Dark eyes and careless hair
Your appearance is casual and unconcerned.
You were fashionably sensitive
You were fashionable and sensitive but indifferent.
But too cool to care
Too cool to show genuine concern or care.
You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
You stood at my doorway without much to say.
Besides some comment on the weather
You made some small talk about the weather.
Well in case you failed to notice
A reminder that what follows is important.
In case you failed to see
A repetition emphasizing the significance.
This is my heart bleeding before you
This is my heart exposed and bleeding for you.
This is me down on my knees, and
I am on my knees, vulnerable.
These foolish games are tearing me apart
These foolish games are causing emotional distress.
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
Your careless words are causing heartbreak.
You're breaking my heart
Reiteration of the emotional pain inflicted.
You're always brilliant in the morning
You are exceptionally intelligent in the morning.
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee
Engaging in habits like smoking and discussing over coffee.
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you
Your views on art are influenced by the Baroque period.
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
You appreciate Mozart and share stories about your loved ones.
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
I awkwardly played my guitar as you guided me.
You'd teach me of honest things
You taught me about honest and daring things.
Things that were daring, things that were clean
Values that are pure and unblemished.
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
Values that understand the true worth of an honest dollar.
I hid my soiled hands behind my back
I concealed my tainted hands behind my back.
Somewhere along the line, I must have gone off track with you
At some point, I lost my way in our relationship.
Excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else
An apology for confusing you with someone else.
Somebody who gave a damn
An expression of disappointment in your lack of concern.
Somebody more like myself
Desiring someone who cares, similar to myself.
These foolish games are tearing me
Reiteration of the distress caused by these games.
You're tearing me, you're tearing me apart
Expressing the emotional tearing caused by the person.
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
Reiteration of the impact of thoughtless words on the heart.
You're breaking my heart
Reiteration of the heartbreak caused by the person.
And you took your coat off, stood in the rain
You took off your coat and stood in the rain again.
You're always crazy like that
Your behavior remains consistently unpredictable.
