Foolish Games
|
|
At about the same time that I first heard these words set to music as written and performed by Jewel, I was inspired to write a poem describing a recent significant personal change in my life. Dare I assume that someone might take some inspiration from my words!? Please take the time to read them. Thank-you!
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 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 These foolish games are tearing me apart Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart You're breaking my heart You took off your coat and stood in the rain, You were always crazy like that |
