"How Insensitive" lyrics

"How Insensitive"
(originally by Antônio Carlos Jobim)

How insensitive
I must have seemed
When he told me that he loved me

How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When he told me so sincerely

Why he 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 he's gone away
And I'm alone
With a memory of hist last look

Vague, and drawn, and sad
I see it still
All his heartbreak in his last look

"Why?", he 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?
Over
