For No One Lyrics by Anne Sofie von Otter, Elvis Costello

For the Stars

2001

[Verse 1]
Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words
Of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you
[Verse 2]
She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time
And doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 4]
You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago
She knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him
[Verse 5]
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
[Bridge]
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
