Lyrics

How insensitive
I must have seemed
When he told me that he loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely
Why he 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

Now he's gone away
And I'm alone with the memory of his last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All his heartbreak in that last look
Why he must have asked
Did I just stood and stare in icy silence
What was I to do?
What can one do 
when a love affair is over, over?
