Is there a song that perfectly depicts your relationship/breakup?

[inrepair]

Do you have a song that almost perfectly depicts a past relationship/the breakup/your feelings post-breakup? Obviously there are sad songs we listen to, etc, but I didn't realize until the other day that a song I was listening to seemed as if it was written about my ex and I.

 

It's called "Dead Inside" by Muse and it's actually really eery, especially now that I am far enough removed from the breakup to realize how I have handled my emotions with other people, etc. The last couple portions of the lyrics really describe where I am and how I have sort of turned cold/into how my ex kind of was to me.

 

Feel me now, hold me please

I need you to see who I am

Open up to me, stop hiding from me

It's hurting, babe

Only you can stop the pain

Don't leave me out in the cold

Don't leave me out to die

I gave you everything, I can't give you any more

Now I've become just like you

 

My lips seem warm to the touch

My words seem so alive

My skin is warm to caress

I'll control and hypnotise

You've taught me to lie without a trace

And to kill with no remorse

On the outside I'm the greatest guy

Now I'm dead inside

 

I feel like music is so powerful and relatable! Just thought this would be an interesting topic and it'd be interesting to see stuff from others. If this is somehow against forum etiquette, feel free to lock it, but I thought it might be an interesting idea for a thread.

[Nickr3023]

An interesting topic, I like it. Music plays such an important role in my life as my taste in music on a given day directly relates to my mood. My most current breakup actually is summed up perfectly in my favorite song of all time. Fool In The Rain by Led Zeppelin. Starts off about how much you're infatuated with someone and you want to spend every waking moment with them, and then you watch them leave and you're stuck standing in the rain.

Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining

Like a star that can't wait for the night

I hate to think I've been blinded baby

Why can't I see you tonight?

 

And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin'

And the thrill of your touch gives me fright

And I'm shaking so much, really yearning

Why don't you show up, make it all right?

Yeah, it's all right.

 

And if you promised you'd love so completely

and you said you would always be true

You swore that you would never leave me, baby:

What ever happened to you?

 

And you thought it was only in movies

As you wish all your dreams would come true

It ain't the first time believe me, baby

I'm standin here feeling blue

Yeah I'm blue

 

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner

I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown

Another ten minutes no longer

And then I'm turning around

 

The clock on the wall's moving slower

My heart it sinks to the ground

And the storm that I thought would blow over

Clouds the light of the love that I found

 

Now my body is starting to quiver

And the palms of my hands getting wet

I've got no reason to doubt you baby,

It's all a terrible mess

 

I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless

When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey

The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless

I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah

Light of the love that I found...

[Silver_star]

The National "About Today"

This one pretty much does it for my BU. Basically he started to withdraw from me emotionally. I noticed and brought it up and he just said things would be different when I came to see him (LDR). When I did see him next he broke up with me saying he didn't have those feelings for me anymore. There was nothing I could do. So depressing. haha.

 

 

Today you were far away

and I didn't ask you why

What could I say

I was far away

You just walked away

and I just watched you

What could I say

 

How close am I to losing you

 

Tonight you just close your eyes

and I just watch you

slip away

 

How close am I to losing you

 

Hey, are you awake

Yeah I'm right here

Well can I ask you about today

 

How close am I to losing you

How close am I to losing

[Nickr3023]

Silverstar.....that is a fantastic song! It's the end song in the movie Warrior.

[anonymousbear00101100]

When my LDR ex met up a few days ago to have a more official, in person, not immature over text break up (seriously? come on kid), she told me she bawled her eyes out at the song Dark Coffee. I thought it was because we used to play it together and it was a memory of us.

 

But actually the song is about a girl who doesn't remember why she left her boyfriend, and now she just wants him to call. I hadn't realized that before while we were playing it. While it makes me sad because I sort of feel like she misses me and just wants me to call, it actually has the underlying notion that loneliness is the thing that makes us think about the good times with our exes. She doesn't actually want him to call, she's just lonely. It's a good song, maybe better if you're a dumper haha.

 

I'm So Glad by Cream is the perfect song:

 

I'm so glad

I'm so glad

I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad

 

Don't know what to do

Don't know what to do

Don't know what to do

 

Tired of weeping

Tired of moaning

Tired of groaning for you

 

That repeats like 8 times throughout the song. Pretty much sums up my mood.

[mystikmind2005]

from her perspective;

'When i was your man' by Bruno Mars - perfect

 

from my perspective;

'the stranger' by billy Joel

 

After the separation, how i feel;

'One', by Metallica.... if love is a battlefield, then its a pretty damn good description of what is left once the war is done with you! lol

[RecentChange]

Not a current relationship, but this song "Just before the rain" by a dou Dutch always reminds me of a certain someone and relationship in my life:

 

 

We just got off the phone and it's over

I'm mad about you, you're mad about me

Baby it's over

I realise it's cruel to keep you standing around

While my heart acts so confused

I've been unhappy

I failed you, you love me

 

I'm learning to open other doors

Just before it rains

I'm learning to open other windows

I'm ready to feel

 

I cherished all your care and now it's over

You tried to keep me

I tried to keep you, baby, it's over

I know we both have tried

But now it's time to come clean

I'm so sorry to do this, daddy

I made you unhappy

I left you, you loved me

 

I'm learning to open other doors

Just before it rains

I'm learning to open other windows

I'm ready, I'm not ready

I'm leaving you, baby

 

I'm learning to open other doors

Just before it rains

I'm learning to open other windows

I'm ready to feel the rain

 

You held me like a a flood of gold that you had bought and I had sold

I'm ready to feel the rain, I'm ready to feel

I'm leaving you in the rain, I'm leaving

[todreaminblue]

never tear us apart......

 

Don't ask me

What you know is true

Don't have to tell you

I love your precious heart

 

I

I was standing

You were there

Two worlds collided

And they could never tear us apart

 

We could live

For a thousand years

But if I hurt you

I'd make wine from your tears

 

I told you

That we could fly

'Cause we all have wings

But some of us don't know why

 

I

I was standing

You were there

Two worlds collided

And they could never ever tear us apart....inxs

 

 

i chose this song because it was a song that my ex dedicated to me.....when we both believed we would be together for ever because we weathered many storms..both of us united against the world...and people and circumstances trying to pull us apart....no one who knew us and loved us both ever thought we would split....

 

 

and we did of course...split.........we did because it takes a valiant effort from two people and there cant be any complacency..or the grass is never greener.......you just cant drop the ball.....

 

i chose this song ...because even though he have split we have family together.....he hurt me badly......but i could dwell in that hurt ......and post a song like you oughtta know....by alanis...or i can post this special song he gave me..... and realize .....we had some really awesome times together and some really bad ones.....what came out of our relationship were three beautiful precious hearted girls.....and i can not dwell in hurt...when i wake every morning and see their gorgeous faces....i was blessed truly blessed ....to have had that fifteen year relationship...i know what is important when in one thats for sure.....i know how precious and rare love is...well it is for me...it is rare i fall in love........and i realize mistakes i have made and that only makes me stronger to realize them........ things ended for a reason and i learned a lot......i have no regrets....and i am happy to have moved on......i am not hurt anymore.....and that is freedom....deb

[mightycpa]

 

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us,

How we met and the sparks flew instantly,

and people would say, "They're the lucky ones."

I used to know my place was the spot next to you,

Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat,

'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on.

 

Oh, a simple complication,

Miscommunications lead to fall-out.

So many things that I wish you knew,

So many walls up I can't break through.

 

[Chorus:]

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking,

And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?

I don't know what to say, since the twist of fate when it all broke down,

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

 

Next chapter.

 

How'd we end up this way?

See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy,

And you're doing your best to avoid me.

I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us,

How I was losing my mind when I saw you here,

But you held your pride like you should've held me.

 

Oh, I'm scared to see the ending,

Why are we pretending this is nothing?

I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how,

I've never heard silence quite this loud.

 

[Chorus:]

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking,

And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?

I don't know what to say, since the twist of fate when it all broke down,

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

 

This is looking like a contest,

Of who can act like they care less,

But I liked it better when you were on my side.

The battle's in your hands now,

But I would lay my armor down

If you said you'd rather love than fight.

So many things that you wish I knew,

But the story of us might be ending soon.

 

[Chorus:]

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking,

And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?

I don't know what to say, since the twist of fate when it all broke down,

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now.

And we're not speaking,

And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?

I don't know what to say, since the twist of fate 'cause we're going down,

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

 

The end.

The first time I heard this song, I knew it told our story better than any other. This is the song that inspired me to learn to play guitar.

[Green_Manalishi]

Fleetwood Mac's "Closing My Eyes"

 

 

Now it's the same as before

and I'm alone again

 

With no sorrow for myself

And I'm blaming no one else

 

And closing my eyes

And seeing you standing there

 

Now it's the same as before

You've touched me with your love

 

And though you're in my heart

We're still a world apart

As now I'm back to the time

Where I would search for a dream

But no use to try anymore as before

Someday I'll die, and maybe then I'll be with you

 

So I'm closing my eyes

To hear the people laugh

 

For they're all aglow

Not knowing where to go

 

But is it asking too much

When the question is what to do

With the life I'll have

It seems I know nothing now

Except my love for you

And the strength in my hands

To go on feeding your smile

[Charlie Harper]

Somewhere in a scrap book

There's a rose you gave to me

And the photograph that's torn in half

And all that's left is me

 

Live happily ever after, darling

That came after I was gone

And they tell you that you can't go back

Then why can't I go on?

 

When should be laughing at this joke

Dressed up as love, disguised as hope

And isn't funny after all this time

A tear is falling when I should be laughing?

 

Sunsets like a painting

Windows like a frame

When night comes in and I begin

To see it all again

 

When I should be laughing at this joke

The damage done, the words I spoke

And isn't funny after all this time

Regret can find me when I should be laughing?

 

I should laughing at life

And all of the tricks that it plays, yeah

I should be laughing at time

And how fast it's slipping away

 

Somewhere in a scrap book

There's a rose you gave to me

And with one last look, I close the book

And let the past just be

 

'Cause should be laughing at this joke

Dressed up as love, disguised as hope

And isn't funny after all this time

A tear is falling when I should be laughing?

Now isn't funny I should be laughing?

Now isn't funny?

"Broken Vow" by Lara Fabian

 

Tell me her name

I want to know

The way she looks

And where you go

I need to see her face

I need to understand

Why you and I came to an end

 

Tell me again

I want to hear

Who broke my faith in all these years

Who lays with you at night

When I'm here all alone

Remembering when I was your own

 

[Chorus:]

I'll let you go

I'll let you fly

Why do I keep asking why

I'll let you go

Now that I found

A way to keep somehow

More than a broken vow

 

Tell me the words I never said

Show me the tears you never shed

Give me the touch

That one you promised to be mine

Or has it vanished for all time

 

[Chorus]

 

I close my eyes

And dream of you and I

And then I realize

There's more to life than only bitterness and lies

I close my eyes

I'd give away my soul

To hold you once again

And never let this promise end

 

[Chorus]

 

This song perfectly captures the heartbreak and pain of losing my husband. My soon to be ex husband who ended our marriage to be with the woman he had an affair with.

[Cora]

Daughter - Youth

 

Shadows settle on the place, that you left.

Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.

Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.

From the perfect start to the finish line.

 

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.

'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.

Setting fire to our insides for fun

Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong

The lovers that went wrong.

 

We are the reckless,

We are the wild youth

Chasing visions of our futures

One day we'll reveal the truth

That one will die before he gets there.

 

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.

'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.

We're setting fire to our insides for fun.

Collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home,

It was a flood that wrecked this...

 

... and you caused it...

... and you caused it...

... and you caused it...

 

Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silouhette,

A lifeless face that you'll soon forget,

My eyes ae damp from the words you left,

Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.

Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.

 

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,

'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.

Setting fire to our insides for fun,

To distract our hearts from ever missing them.

But I'm forever missing him.

 

And you caused it,

And you caused it,

And you caused it

 

 

 

-This is how I feel, especially after the latest heartbreak.

[schlieman]

My first one is from the beatles "girl"

 

 

"Girl"

 

Is there anybody going to listen to my story

All about the girl who came to stay?

She's the kind of girl you want so much

It makes you sorry

Still, you don't regret a single day

Ah girl

Girl

 

When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her

She will turn to me and start to cry

And she promises the earth to me

And I believe her

After all this times I don't know why

Ah, girl

Girl

 

She's the kind of girl who puts you down

When friends are there, you feel a fool

When you say she's looking good

She acts as if it's understood

She's cool, cool, cool, cool

Girl

Girl

 

Was she told when she was young that pain

Would lead to pleasure?

Did she understand it when they said

That a man must break his back to earn

His day of leisure?

Will she still believe it when he's dead?

Ah girl

Girl

Girl

 

Ah girl

Girl

Girl

 

and Gotye "Hearts a mess"

 

"Hearts A Mess"

 

Pick apart

The pieces of your heart

And let me peer inside

Let me in

Where only your thoughts have been

Let me occupy your mind

As you do mine

 

Your heart's a mess

You won't admit to it

It makes no sense

But I'm desperate to connect

You can't live like this

 

You have lost

(Too much love)

To fear, doubt and distrust

(It's not enough)

You just threw away the key

To your heart

 

You don't get burned

('Cause nothing gets through)

It makes it easier

(Easier on you)

But that much more difficult for me

To make you see…

 

Love ain't fair

So there you are

My love

 

Your heart's a mess

You won't admit to it

It makes no sense

But I'm desperate to connect

And you, you can't live like this

 

Your heart's a mess

You won't admit to it

It makes no sense

But I'm desperate to connect

And you can't live like this

 

Love ain't safe

You won't get hurt if you stay chaste

So you can wait

But I don't wanna waste my love

 

I find too depending on what mood i am in songs that i heard a 100 times suddenly change and have a new meaning, especialy when the good old heart is aching.

[RecentChange]

Uff, I love Daughter! But so many of her songs are simply heart wrenching. Have you had a chance to see her in person?

[Cora]

A couple other songs that explain my situation perfectly. Still cry when I hear these songs.

 

Torn

Natalie Imbruglia

 

I thought, I saw a man brought to life

He was warm, he came around and he was dignified

He showed me what it was to cry

 

Well, you couldn't be that man I adored

You don't seem to know

Seem to care what your heart is for

But I don't know him anymore

 

There's nothing where he used to lie

The conversation has run dry

That's what's going on

Nothing's fine, I'm torn

 

I'm all out of faith

This is how I feel

I'm cold and I am shamed

Lying naked on the floor

 

Illusion never changed

Into something real

I'm wide awake and I can see

The perfect sky is torn

You're a little late, I'm already torn

 

So I guess the fortune teller's right

Should have seen just what was there

And not some holy light

 

It crawled beneath my veins

And now I don't care, I had no luck

I don't miss it all that much

There's just so many things

That I can touch, I'm torn

 

I'm all out of faith

This is how I feel

I'm cold and I am shamed

Lying naked on the floor

 

Illusion never changed

Into something real

I'm wide awake and I can see

The perfect sky is torn

You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn

 

There's nothing where he used to lie

My inspiration has run dry

That's what's going on

Nothing's right, I'm torn

 

I'm all out of faith

This is how I feel

I'm cold and I am shamed

Lying naked on this floor

 

Illusion never changed

Into something real

I'm wide awake and I can see

The perfect sky is torn

 

I'm all out of faith

This is how I feel

I'm cold and I'm ashamed

Bound and broken on the floor

You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn

 

 

 

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know

 

Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

Told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

 

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end, always the end

So when we found that we could not make sense

Well you said that we would still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

 

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

 

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

And I don't wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

 

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody, I used to know

(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody, I used to know

(Somebody) Now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to know, that I used to know, I used to know somebody

MC Hammer - U Can't Touch This

[DontBreakEven]

If I could say anything, anything

What would it be?

A good question for our destined reality.

I would tell you that I love you -

Even when it didn't show.

I would tell you that I love you, baby ...

By now I hope you know.

 

If you could go anywhere, anywhere

What would you see?

Take a step in any direction, it's make believe.

If your mind is always moving,

It's hard to get your heart up off the ground.

Yeah, your mind was always moving ...

But your thoughts never made a sound.

 

And we won't break if we let go.

You and I already know

We were bound to be set free, eventually.

So here we are now -

You can say anything.

 

If I could have it go any way, any way, it'd go like this:

Take it back to a couple years yesterday to our first kiss

In that moment I loved you -

This isn't how I ever saw it going down.

In that moment I loved you,

I wish I knew then what I know now.

 

We won't break if we let go.

You and I already know

We were bound to be set free, eventually.

So, here we are now -

You can say anything.

You can say anything.

 

You should you listen to your heart

It's gonna tell you what you need

Take care of yourself -

And don't you worry about me.

 

You should you listen to your heart

It's gonna tell you what you need

Take care of yourself ...

And don't you worry about me.

 

We won't break if we let go.

You and I already know

We were bound to be set free, eventually.

Well, here we are now -

You can say anything.

Always say anything.

Lana del Rey Born to die album helped me in those dark days, expecially songs Born to die and Summertime sadness

 

Born to die

Why?

Who me?

Why?

 

Feet don’t fail me now

Take me to the finish line

Oh my heart it breaks every step that I take

But I’m hoping at the gates,

They’ll tell me that you’re mine

 

Walking through the city streets

Is it by mistake or design?

I feel so alone on the Friday nights

Can you make it feel like home, if I tell you you’re mine?

It's like I told you honey

 

Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough

I don’t know why

Keep making me laugh, let’s go get high

The road is long, we carry on

Try to have fun in the meantime

 

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane

Choose your last words

This is the last time

Cause you and I, we were born to die

 

Lost but now I am found

I can see but once I was blind

I was so confused as a little child

Tried to take what I could get

Scared that I couldn't find

All the answers honey

 

Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough

I don’t know why

Keep making me laugh

Let's go get high

The road is long, we carry on

Try to have fun in the meantime

 

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane

Choose your last words,

This is the last time

Cause you and I

We were born to die [3x]

 

Come and and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane

 

Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough

I don’t know why

Keep making me laugh

Let's go get high

The road is long, we carry on

Try to have fun in the meantime

 

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane...

Choose your last words,

This is the last time

Cause you and I

We were born to die

 

 

Summertime sadness

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That, baby, you're the best

 

I got my red dress on tonight

Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight

Done my hair up real big beauty queen style

High heels off, I'm feeling alive

 

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air

Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare

Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere

Nothing scares me anymore

 

(1, 2, 3, 4)

 

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That, baby, you're the best

 

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

S-s-summertime, summertime sadness

Got that summertime, summertime sadness

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

 

I'm feelin' electric tonight

Cruising down the coast goin' 'bout 99

Got my bad baby by my heavenly side

I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight

 

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air

Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare

Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere

Nothing scares me anymore

 

(1, 2, 3, 4)

 

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That, baby, you're the best

 

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

S-s-summertime, summertime sadness

Got that summertime, summertime sadness

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

 

Think I'll miss you forever

Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky

Later's better than never

Even if you're gone I'm gonna drive (drive, drive)

 

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

S-s-summertime, summertime sadness

Got that summertime, summertime sadness

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

 

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That, baby, you're the best

 

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

S-s-summertime, summertime sadness

Got that summertime, summertime sadness

A song I wrote about breaking up, and looking into the future.

 

 

Not a song, but a couple GREAT movies about breaking are, 500 Days of Summer, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Also, Somewhere in Time, probably the most romantic movie ever made.

Wow... everyone's songs are so.... upscale.

 

Mine is a bit more raw/trashy, but sooo perfect!!.

No doubt for me, will always be Grenade- Bruno mars

 

[WaitingForBardot]

Fleetwood Mac's "Closing My Eyes"

 

 

Now it's the same as before

and I'm alone again

 

With no sorrow for myself

And I'm blaming no one else

 

And closing my eyes

And seeing you standing there

 

Now it's the same as before

You've touched me with your love

 

And though you're in my heart

We're still a world apart

As now I'm back to the time

Where I would search for a dream

But no use to try anymore as before

Someday I'll die, and maybe then I'll be with you

 

So I'm closing my eyes

To hear the people laugh

 

For they're all aglow

Not knowing where to go

 

But is it asking too much

When the question is what to do

With the life I'll have

It seems I know nothing now

Except my love for you

And the strength in my hands

To go on feeding your smile

Really like this song, and basically everything by the original fleetwood mac...

 

"Oh Well"

 

Can't help it 'bout the shape I'm in,

Can't sing, I ain't pretty, and my legs are thin.

But don't ask me what I think of you,

I might not give the answer that you want me too...

 

...etc...

[WaitingForBardot]

In my mind, one of the most astute/observant songs ever written about failed love...

 

"For no one" -- "The Beatles" -- Lennon & McCartney

 

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
