You took your
coat off and
stood in the rain
You were always
crazy like that
And 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
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
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
You d teach me
of honest things
Things that
were daring
Things that
were clean
Things that knew
What an honest
dollar did mean
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
These foolish games
are tearing me
tearing me
tearing me apart
Your thoughtless
words 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
