How Insensitive
Echoes of Love's Farewell: How Insensitivity Breaks Hearts
Lyrics
How insensitive
Expressing a lack of sensitivity or emotional responsiveness
I must have seemed
Describing the speaker's perceived demeanor
When he told me
Recalling a moment when someone declared their love
That he loved me
Reflecting on the proclamation of love
How unmoved and cold
Characterizing the speaker's apparent emotional state
I must have seemed
Continuing to describe the speaker's emotional response
When he said it
Recalling the sincerity of the love declaration
So sincerely
Reflecting on the sincerity of the expression
Why, he must have asked
Pondering the partner's question about the speaker's reaction
Did I just turn and
Questioning the reason for a cold and silent response
Stare in icy silence?
Describing the speaker's icy silence
What was I to do?
Expressing a sense of helplessness in the situation
What can you do?
Reflecting on the limited options when a love affair ends
When a love affair is over?
Musing on the challenges of dealing with the aftermath of a love affair
Now he's gone away
Noting the partner's departure and the speaker's solitude
And I'm alone with
Describing the speaker's current state of being alone
The memory of
Reflecting on the lingering memory of the partner
His last look
Describing the emotional impact of the partner's final gaze
Vague and drawn
Characterizing the partner's last look as indistinct and melancholic
And sad, I see it still
Recalling the enduring sadness of the partner's gaze
All the heartbreak
Expressing the pain and sorrow of the partner's final expression
Of his last look
Reiterating the heartbreak caused by the partner's last look
Why, he must have asked
Pondering the partner's question about the speaker's reaction
Would I just turn
Questioning the reason for a cold and silent response (repeated theme)
And stare in icy silence?
Describing the speaker's icy silence (repeated theme)
What was I to say?
Expressing a sense of helplessness in the situation (repeated theme)
What can you say?
Reflecting on the limited options when a love affair ends (repeated theme)
When a love affair is over?
Musing on the challenges of dealing with the aftermath of a love affair (repeated theme)
Why, he must have asked
Pondering the partner's question about the speaker's reaction (repeated theme)
Did I just turn
Questioning the reason for a cold and silent response (repeated theme)
And stare in icy silence?
Describing the speaker's icy silence (repeated theme)
What was I to say?
Expressing a sense of helplessness in the situation (repeated theme)
What can you say?
Reflecting on the limited options when a love affair ends (repeated theme)
When a love affair is over?
Musing on the challenges of dealing with the aftermath of a love affair (repeated theme)
Over
Acknowledging the end of the love affair
Over
Repeating the finality of the love affair's conclusion
