Song lyrics
You took your coat off and stood in the rain.
You're 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.
You stood in my doorway, you got nothin 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.
Breaking my heart... 

You're always brilliant in the morning
You're smoking your cigarettes
And talking over coffee.
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you, you loved Mozart.
And you speak of your loved ones
as I clumsily strum my guitar.

Well excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else.
Somebody who gave a damn, somebody more like myself.
And these foolish games are tearing me, tearing me, 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.

Yeah, the piano is awesome in the background. It is a sad song, but I love sad songs! I love the line,

"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."

I love this song i recently lost someone i loved so much and they were so important too me and this song, i can relate too it so much specially in the lines:
"Well in case u failed too notice, in case you failed too see this is my heart bleeding before you, this is me down on my knees"
and:
"excuse me think ive mistaken you for somebody else. Somebody who gave a damn, somebody more like myself"
AND, the whole first verse cause it reminds me of this person so much.....

*Melanie i cant believe what you did but i still love you and miss u and now im really confused cause i dunno what to think of you anymore.*
*Georgina i miss u and i need to tell u so much i wish you never left i need you so much.*

This song makes me think of my long-time crush who is just killing herself with an asshole boyfriend and all the while I am there to support her. Relate it to myself with her and her with the guy. It makes me cry...

x0michelle0x i'm sorry but i can't see how this song reminds "paint it black"(not painted black!)
well i like it but it's sad. it's a brilliant song... but in this sight there aren't all the lyrics!!
after the line "i clumsily strum my guitar" it goes:"you'd teach me of honest things
things that were daring,things that were clean
things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
well i hid my soiled hands behind my back
somewhere along the line i must've gone off track with you.."
and then is the second chorus!

Jewel has some of the most interesting and meaningful lyrics I have heard, unfortunately some of her music doesn't appeal to everyone,

but she has my vote!
