"Like I Wasn't Even There" lyrics

She was sitting at our table at our favorite old cafe
Cutting up and laughing with new friends
It was the first time I'd seen her since the day she walked away
She noticed me the moment I walked in
I saw those brown eyes, that perfect smile, the candlelight reflecting off her hair
Then she acted like I wasn't even there

In California, sun sinking out of sight
Like I didn't hear her say "I love you" laying on the beach that night
Like I wasn't standing in that cafe, losing her all over again
All I could do was stare
While she acted like I wasn't even there

I thought I might walk over, then she'd have to say hello
But then again, what good would that do?
So I motioned to the waitress, "I'll have a coffee to go
And keep the change," I tried to play it cool
But then I heard that voice above the crowd
I felt like I was trying to breathe thin air
As she acted like I wasn't even there

Up in the Rockies, with that diamond in my hand
Like we didn't talk about forever, a picket fence on a little land
Like I wasn't standing in that cafe, losing her all over again
All I could do was stare
While she acted like I wasn't even there
Surely, I'm still in her heart somewhere
But she acted like I wasn't even there
