Your day breaks, your mind aches
Teu dia amanhece, tua mente dói
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
Você percebe que todas as palavras doces dela ficam no ar
When she no longer needs you
Quando ela não precisa mais de você
She wakes up, she makes up
Ela acorda, ela se arruma
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
Ela leva o tempo dela e não sente que precisa se apressar
She no longer needs you
Ela não precisa mais de você
And in her eyes you see nothing
E em seus olhos você não vê nada
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
Nenhum sinal de amor atrás das lágrimas choradas por ninguém
A love that should have lasted years
Um amor que deveria ter durado anos
You want her, you need her
Você a quer, você a precisa
And yet you don't believe her
And yet you don't believe her
When she says her love is dead
When she says her love is dead
You think she needs you
You think she needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
A love that should have lasted years
You stay home, she goes out
You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone
She says that long ago she knew someone
But now he's gone, she no longer needs him
But now he's gone, she no longer needs him
Your day breaks, your mind aches
Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be times when all the things
There will be times when all the things
She said will fill your head
She said will fill your head
You won't forget her
You won't forget her
And in her eyes you see nothing
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
A love that should have lasted years
And in her eyes you see nothing
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
A love that should have lasted years
You stay home, she goes out
You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone
She says that long ago she knew someone
But now he's gone, she no longer needs him
But now he's gone, she no longer needs him
Your day breaks, your mind aches
Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be times when all the things
There will be times when all the things
She said will fill your head
She said will fill your head
You won't forget her
You won't forget her
And in her eyes you see nothing
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
A love that should have lasted years
