How Insensitive Lyrics

How Insensitive

Music by antonio carlos jobim, words by vinicius demoraes, translated by norman

How insensitive
I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me
How unnerved 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?
