Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones

For No One

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
