[Another] Foolish Game [of Malam]

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
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

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 your coat off and stood in the rain
you were always crazy like that............
