Anne Sofie von Otter, Elvis Costello - For No One lyrics

Your day breaks your mind aches
You find that all her 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 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
