A love that should have lasted years

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 you 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
