[Verse 1]

You took your coat off, 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

And you stood in my doorway with nothing to say

Besides some comment on the weather

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

And these foolish games are tearing me apart

And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart

You're breaking my heart

[Verse 2]

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 have gone off track with you

[Pre-Chorus]

Excuse me—

Think I've mistaken you for somebody else

Somebody who gave a damn

Somebody more like myself

[Chorus]

And these foolish games are tearing me

You're tearing me, you're tearing me apart

And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart

You're breaking my heart

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

And you took your coat off

Stood in the rain

You're always crazy like that

[Instrumental Outro]
