Lyrics For No One - Emmylou Harris

For No One

Your day breaks
Your mind aches
You find that all the 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 said 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
And 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
