i know how he feels lyrics

When I heard that familiar voice
My heart stopped dead in it's 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 site
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
