“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 so sincerely

Why she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to do?
What can you do
When a love affair is over?

So now she’s gone away
And I’m alone with the memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still, all the heartache in that last look

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?
