For No One Lyrics - The Beatles
Review The Song (17)
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 her 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 her tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
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 her 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 her tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

it hits home sometimes | Reviewer: Bill R. | 1/20/13
This may be the most poignant song the Beatles ever recorded. It is sad, melancholy and beautiful at the same time. And it has such meaning for us who have been in the situation presented in the song. I have been there more than once.
the more life passes by the more meaning it gets | Reviewer: romano | 10/22/12
when I used to listen to this song in my teens, I considered it just another Beatles song, maybe not a real hit. But as time passes by and scares of life are carved on soul, I get what does it mean "And in her eyes you see nothing, No sign of love behind her tears, Cried for no one, A love that should have lasted years.." and I can see myself both in him and her as well, not knowing what is the worst place..
it's incredible someone wrote it in his
Cried for noone because nobody would bother hearing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/29/12
this song always reminded my ex about his ex...hmmm shouldve saw the red flags way before he went out with her again... but I was so in love... I realize I was just a rebound.. Fuck that relationship, but it'll still be painful to remember, because he never loved me and I didnt believe myself when he loved her since the beginning...
wow! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/3/11
who ever said music had no meaning? this makes you want to move on because the other person already has. it makes you not at to remember all e good time, but the reason you broke up in the first place. THANK YOU BEATLES!!!!
Heart wrenching | Reviewer: peters | 2/1/11
A powerful and emotional song by the greatest band in the world. The words are so true when you lose a love that could have lasted forever. Stings you in the heart and takes one's breath away when she says its over and her love is dead. sigh.....
lots of meaning | Reviewer: jessi | 9/20/10
my friends ex boyfriend put the these lyrics on his status on facebook and thats when i was like "oh whats this?" i love this song. it has alota meaning and it makes me feel good bc i never liked her boyfriend
Wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/24/10
This song hit me like a ton of bricks. I lived my whole life not giving this band the credit they deserved. There aren't many bands that can hit the mark like they can, be it the big things or the little things. What I'm going through right now is spot on with the tone of this song and it helps to think that something like this wasn't written for the money or to pander to a crowd like most modern music. Thats what I believe at least.

"Your day breaks, your mind aches.." Maybe one of rocks most melancholy songs of all time. To look into the eyes of the one you love and see an impassive, deadpanned stare; she no longer needs you. To only wonder what could have been.. The horns sound off in harmony, consistent with the mood of the song (observe Paul'...s feeble attempt of optimism after he feels "she no longer needs him": the horns indicate a slim possibility that love hasnt died; there is still a chance, right?) Much to his chagrin, it's all over... (horns dolefully wane with reality as the song sadly concludes.)
Great song | Reviewer: Vishal | 12/5/09
One of the best songs in the world. Even todays top bands cant write such songs. Thats why beatles were a gift to mankind. This song indeed takes you to your past memories if you ever had the experience of "dead love". Beatles forever...............

one of the best songs written, not just by the beatles, but ever. every line is so spot on in how you feel when the person you still love, and thought that they felt the same, turns round and says it's all over. none more so than the line 'and yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead'.
Great song | Reviewer: Andy | 11/4/09
Really beautiful song, especially for that contradictory horn in middle of the most depressing verses about a dead love. I feel like loving my wife more and appreciating how much she loves me...Thanks to you Beatles
wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/12/09
there isn't anything worse than having that person you thought loved you look straight into your eyes and make you realize that everything died, that the feeling is dead or never even existed, that for some reason he thought it was a great time to sweep you of your feet and then let you fall righ on the ground.
I love this song :') it really makes you feel a lot better!
So true | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/8/08
Realizing that love is dead is a painful experience for whoever is still in love. Getting to accept that fact and stop inventing your projected love is also a challenge. I love this Beatles song (music and lyrics)and it is a great introduction to love cure. What would be the next song in that thread of thought... hopefully positive... Maybe - All you need is love!

That moment of realization! | Reviewer: Wally | 2/7/08
this song is so true about that moment you do relaize with some shock, horror and such sorrow that she has moved on. You ask yourself "how can this be". How can she be so strong to move on when I realize now that I need her SO much. Someone like myself , lucky enough to have a few relationships always remeber the one who got away and this song takes my thoughts right to her.
FANTASTIC song | Reviewer: Bill | 12/4/07
one of the best lyrics mccartney has ever written (especially the chorus "in her eyes..."- if you ever had more than one relationship in your life, you can relate to this song. The music is awesome too..
