How Insensitive

(album: The Shadow Of Your Smile - 1966)

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?
