Foolish games [French translation]

You took your coat off, 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're always the mysterious one

with dark eyes and careless hair

you were fashionably sensitive

but to cool to care

you stood in my doorway with nothing to say

besides some comment on the weather

Well incase you failed to notice

incase 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're always brilliant in the morning

smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee

you're 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

Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else

somebody who gave a damn

somebody more like myslef

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're always crazy like that
