For No One Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

Your day breaks, your mind aches 

You find that all the 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 

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
