how insensitive

how insensitive

i must have seemed

when she told me that she loved me

how unmoved and cold

i must have seemed

when she told me so sincerely

why she must have asked?

did i just turn and stare in icy silence?

what was i to say? what can you say

when a love affair is over?

how insensitive

he must have seemed

when she told me that she loved him

how unmoved and cold

he must have seemed

when she told him so sincerely

why she must have asked?

did he just turn and stare in icy silence?

what was she to say? what can he say

when a love affair is over?

now she's gone away

and i'm alone with a memory of her last look

vague and drawn and sad

i see it still

all her heartbreak in that last look

how she must have asked

could i just turn and stare in icy silence?

what was i to do? what can one do

when a love affair is over?
