Foolish Games
Jewel Lyrics

You took your coat off, stood in the rain
You are unafraid of getting wet, which is representative of your daredevil nature and carefree attitude.

You're always crazy like that
Your actions and behavior are always erratic and unpredictable.

And I watched from my window
I observed your behavior from a distance, unable to understand or fully participate in it.

Always felt I was outside looking in on you
I was always an outsider looking in, never fully able to understand your way of thinking or reasoning.

You're always the mysterious one with
You possess an air of mystique and intrigue that makes it hard for others to decipher your true motives or intentions.

Dark eyes and careless hair
Your physical features, such as your mysterious eyes and your without care styled hair, contribute to your overall enigmatic facade.

You were fashionably sensitive
You had a way of wearing your emotions on your sleeve in a way that was considered trendy or fashionable.

But too cool to care
Despite wearing your emotions on your sleeve, you still maintained a cool and distant exterior when it mattered.

You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
You lacked any real conversation or discussion, drawing attention to the empty and meaningless aspect of the encounter.

Besides some comment on the weather
The casual and mundane comment about the weather undermined the true nature of a genuine conversation or connection.

Well, in case you failed to notice
In case you were unaware or oblivious to the situation at hand.

In case you failed to see
If you were unable to comprehend or recognize the issue at hand.

This is my heart bleeding before you
This is me being vulnerable and open with you, showing you the pain and hurt that you have caused.

This is me down on my knees
I am pleading with you to understand and recognize the pain that I am feeling.

And these foolish games are tearing me apart
These meaningless and pointless interactions are causing me emotional harm and heartbreak.

And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
Your careless and inconsiderate words are causing me emotional harm and heartbreak.

You're breaking my heart
Your actions and words are causing me immense pain and sadness.

You were always brilliant in the morning
You possessed a certain genius or creativity in the early hours of the day.

Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee
You had a ritual of smoking and conversing over coffee, adding to the overall allure of your persona.

Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you
Your opinions and thoughts on art, specifically the Baroque period, greatly influenced or affected you on a personal level.

You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
Your appreciation for classical music, specifically Mozart, and your love for your family and friends was a defining aspect of your personality.

As I clumsily strummed my guitar
As I awkwardly tried to play my guitar in front of you, further emphasizing the difference in our talents and abilities.

You'd teach me of honest things
You would share with me your knowledge and wisdom regarding things that were true and genuine.

Things that were daring, things that were clean
You would share with me things that were bold or courageous, as well as things that were pure and honest.

Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
You would share with me the value and importance of an honest dollar, emphasizing the idea of earning money through hard work and honesty.

I hid my soiled hands behind my back
I kept my dirty, flawed, or imperfect qualities hidden or tucked away, as not to reveal them to you or anyone else.

Somewhere along the line, I must have gone off track with you
At some point during our interaction, I lost sight of my goals or intentions with you, resulting in a deviation or departure from my original path or plan.

Excuse me
Pardon me or I plead your indulgence as I interject.

Think I've mistaken you for somebody else
I believe that I have confused you with someone or something else.

Somebody who gave a damn
Someone who cared or was invested in the relationship or situation.

Somebody more like myself
Someone who shared similar goals, interests, or personality traits as myself.
