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?

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 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?
