[Verse 1]
Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you
[Verse 2]
She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel
She has to hurry

Will fill your head
You won't forget her
[Bridge]
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
