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 do
What can you do when a love affair is over
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
Over, over, over
