How Insensitive
Shirley Bassey
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?
