foolish games

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're always the mysterious one with
dark eyes and careless hair
you were fashionably sensitive
but too cool to care
you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
besides some comment on the weather

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, 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
your philosophies on art, baroque moved you
you loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
as i clumsily strummed my guitar

well excuse me, guess i've mistaken you for somebody else
somebody who gave a damn
somebody more like myself

these foolish games are tearing me
you tearing me, you tearing me apart
and your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
you're breaking my heart

you took your coat off
and stood in the rain
you're always crazy like that

hands

if i could tell the world just one thing
it would be that we're all ok
and not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
i won't be made useless
i won't be idle with despair
i will gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear

my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours, they are my own
but they're not yours, they are my own
and i am never broken

poverty stole your golden shoes
but it didn't steal your laughter
and heart ache came to visit me
but i knew it wasn't ever after

We'll fight, not out of spite
for someone must stand up for what's right
'cause where there's a man who has no voice
there ours shall go singing

my hands are small i know
but they're not yours, they are my own
but they're not yours, they are my own
and i am never broken

in the end only kindness matters
in the end only kindness matters

i will get down on my knees, and i will pray
i will get down on my knees, and i will pray
i will get down on my knees, and i will pray

my hands are small i know
but they're not yours, they are my own
but they're not yours, they are my own
and i am never broken

my hands are small i know
but they're not yours, they are my own
but they're not yours, they are my own
and i am never broken
we are never broken

we are God's eyes
god's hands
god's mind
we are God's eyes
god's hands
god's heart
we are God's eyes
god's hands
god's eyes
we are God's hands

you were meant for me

i hear the clock, it's 6am
i feel so far from where i've been
i got my eggs and i've got my pancakes too
i got my maple syrup, everything but you
i break the yolks and make a smiley face
i kinda like it in my brand new place
wipe the spots above the mirror
don't leave the keys in the door
i never put wet towels on the floor anymore

cause…
dreams last for so long
even after you're gone
i know, that you love me
and soon you will see
you were meant for me
and i was meant for you

i called my momma, she was out for a walk
consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
so i picked up a paper, it was more bad news
more hearts being broken and more people being used
put on my coat in the pouring rain
i saw a movie but it just wasn't the same
cause it was happy or i was sad
and it made me miss you oh so bad

cause…
dreams last for so long
even after you're gone
i know, that you love me
and soon you will see
you were meant for me
and i was meant for you

i go about my business, i'm doing fine
besides, what would i say if i had you on the line
same old story, not much to say
hearts are broken every day

i brush my teeth and put the cap back on
i know you hate it when i leave the light on
i pick a book up, and then i turn the sheets down
and then i take a deep breath and a good look around
put on my pj's and hop into bed
i'm half alive but i feel mostly dead
i try and tell myself it will be all right
i just shouldn't think anymore tonight

cause…
dreams last for so long
even after you're gone
and i know, you love me
and soon i know you will see
you were meant for me
and i was meant for you
yeah, you were meant for me
and i was meant for you
