for no one

• you 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 love behind the tears
  cried for no one
  a love that should have lasted years
