I Know How He Feels lyrics

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.
