Your day breaks, your mind aches,
You find that all her words
Of kindness linger on
When 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 says her love is dead,
You think she 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 stay home, she goes out,
She says that long ago she knew someone
But now he’s gone,
She doesn’t need him.
Your day breaks, your mind aches,
There will be times when all the things
She said will fill your head,
You won’t forget her.
And in her eyes you see nothing,
No sign of live behind the tears
Cried for no one,
A love that should have lasted years.
