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
