For No One - Maura O'Connell

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
