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
'Cause 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
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 some how 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
'Cause 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

And it's killing me
Oh I know how he feels
