"For No One" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Original Manuscript, "Why Did It Die?" (1966)

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 does not feel she has to
hurry she no longer needs you

Chorus Why did it die?
you'd like to know.
Cry - and blame her

But the last, you wait
You're too late
As you're deciding why the wrong one will wins, the end begins
and you will lose her

(Why did it die
I'd like to know
Try - to save it)

You want her
you need (love) her
so make her see that you believe it may work out
one day, you need each other

As Released by the Beatles (1966)

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.
