When I heard that familiar voice,
my heart stopped dead in its tracks.
Across the room, I could see him there,
a ghost from my past,
but he's too caught up to notice me;
she must be his new love.
I never dreamed that it would hurt this much;
it's just...
I know how he feels,
how warm his touch is,
oh, how he feels,
how soft his kiss is,
and it cuts right down to the bone
because I let him go.
I know how he cares,
how strong his love can be
when he believes it's real.
Oh, I've been there,
and I know how he feels.
As long as I kept him out of sight,
I kept from going out of my mind,
tried to believe that leaving him
was somehow justified,
but tonight there's no denying
what a love like his is worth.
He once looked at me
the way he's looking at her;
what a lucky girl...
I know how he feels,
how warm his touch is,
oh, how he feels,
how soft his kiss is,
and it cuts right down to the bone
because I let him go.
And it's killing me...
Oh, I know how he feels.
