i know how he feels

when i heard that familiar voice

my heart stopped dead in its tracks

across the room i could see him there

a ghost from my past

but he's too caught up to notice me

she must be his new love

i never dreamed that it would hurt this much

it's just

i know how he feels

how warm his touch is

oh

how he feels

how soft his kiss is

and it cuts right down to the bone

'cause i let him go

i know how he cares

how strong his love can be

when he believes its real

oh

i've been there

i know how he feels

as long as i kept him out of sight

i kept from goin' out of my mind

tried to believe that leavin' him

was somehow justified

but tonight there's no denying

what a love like his is worth

he once looked at me

the way he's lookin' at her

what a lucky girl

i know how he feels

how warm his touch is

oh

how he feels

how soft his kiss is

and it cuts right down to the bone

'cause i let him go

i know how he cares

how strong his love can be

when he believes its real

oh

i've been there

i know how he feels

and it's killin' me

oh

i know how he feels
