For No One
Laurence Juber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
She doesn't need him
Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said will fil 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!
The lyrics of Laurence Juber's song "For No One" are a poignant representation of a relationship that has come to an end. The song talks about the pain and anguish that comes with the realization that the person you love no longer needs you. The first stanza talks about the aftermath of a breakup, where the words of kindness from the past still linger on, even though the person has moved on.
The second stanza talks about the woman who has moved on from the relationship. She is depicted as someone who takes her time and is in no hurry to do things. This is in contrast to the singer, who still needs her and wants her back. However, there is no sign of love in her eyes, only tears that are shed for someone who is no longer there.
The final stanza talks about the aftermath of the breakup, where the singer is left alone, while the woman has gone out and moved on. The pain and heartache caused by the loss of love are expressed in the line "Your day breaks, your mind aches". The song ends on a poignant note with the realization that the memories of the love that once existed will always remain.
Line by Line Meaning
Your day breaks, your mind aches
Your mornings are filled with pain and confusion
You find that all the words of kindness linger on
Memories of her sweet words still echo in your mind
When she no longer needs you
She has left you now that she doesn't need you
She wakes up, she makes up
She wakes up and applies her makeup
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She takes her time getting ready without feeling any pressure to hurry
She no longer needs you
She has moved on and no longer needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
There is no love left in her eyes
No sign of love behind the tears
Even her tears show no sign of love for you
Cried for no one
She cries for no reason
A love that should have lasted years!
Your love was supposed to last a lifetime
You want her, you need her
You still desire her, your heart longs for her
And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead
You refuse to accept that her love for you is gone
You think she needs you
You mistakenly believe that she still needs you
You stay home, she goes out
You remain home while she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She mentions that she once knew someone who is now no longer in her life
She doesn't need him
And she doesn't miss him nor needs him
There will be time when all the things she said will fill your head
You'll have plenty of time to replay all the things she once said to you in your mind
You won't forget her
You won't be able to forget her easily
