For Nobody Lyrics by Gentle Giant

The Missing Piece

1977

[Verse 1]
Running away, I'll leave you my address
Don't want you to reply to anybody
Forward my mail to the next place
I'll be responsible for nobody
Given my best to the people I knew
I'll always maintain my situation
And through it all
No one told me that I was doing it for nobody
[Verse 2]
Tried to forget everything that we did
And thinking we did it all together
How it went wrong, can't remember
It doesn't matter much for nobody
[Bridge]
Nobody tells, everyone understands
It's anybody for nobody
Anyone for everybody
I'll be responsible for nobody
Nobody tells, everyone understands
It's anybody for nobody
Anyone for everybody
I'll be responsible for nobody
[Instrumental Break 2:08–2:55]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Taking my leave, leaving many regrets
I'll go without meeting understanding
Maybe one day realizing
That everybody is for nobody
[Outro]
Nobody tells, everyone understands
It's anybody for nobody
Anyone for everybody
I'll be responsible for nobody
Nobody tells, everyone understands
It's anybody for nobody
Anyone for everybody
I'll be responsible for nobody
