Album:

For the Stars (with Anne-Sofie von Otter)

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
