you took your coat off
and stood in the rain
you're 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
and 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
and 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
of philosophy and 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 have gone off track with you
excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
somebody who gave a damn
somebody more like myself
and these foolish games are tearing me apart
and your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
you're breaking my heart
you took your coat off
stood in the rain
you were always crazy like that...
