Like I Wasn't Even There

                                  She was sitting at our table

In our favourite old cafe

(?) up, laughing with new friends



It was the first time I had seen her

Since the day she walked away

She noticed me the moment I walked in



I saw her brown eyes and perfect smile

The candle light reflecting off her hair

But she acted like I wasn't even there



In California, sun sinking out of sight

Like I didn't hear her say "I love you"

Laying on the beach that night



Like I wasn't standing in that cafe

Losing her all over again

All I could do was stare

While she acted like I wasn't even there



I thought I might walk over

Then she'd have to say "hello"

But then again, just what good would that do?



So I motioned to the waitress

"I'll take a call for you to go

And keep that change, I'll try to play it cool"



Then I heard that voice above the crowd

I felt like I was trying to breath thin air

And she acted like I wasn't even there



In the rock with that diamond in my hand

Like we didn't talk about forever

A picket fence on a little land



Like I wasn't standing in that cafe

Losing her all over again

All I could do was stare

While she acted like I wasn't even there



Surely I'm still in her heart somewhere

But she acted like I wasn't even there
