Lyrics for For No One
The day breaks, your mind aches You find that all her words of kindness linger on She no longer needs you She wakes, up she makes up She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry She no longer needs you And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind the tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years You want her, you need her And yet you don't believe her When she said her love is dead You think she needs you She goes out, you stay home She says that long ago she knew someone But now he's gone She doesn't need him And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind the tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years The day breaks, your mind aches There will be time when all the things she said Will fill your head You won't forget her
