Sting & Police - How Insensitive lyrics

rate me

Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim, words by Vinicius DeMoraes, translated by Norman Gimbel

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?

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?

So 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 the heartbreak in her 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?
