No Need To Argue

The Cranberries

There's no need to argue anymore
I gave all I could
But it left me so sore
And the thing that makes me mad
Is the one thing that I had
I knew, I knew, I'd lose you
You'll always be special to me
And I remember all the
Things we once shared
Watching TV movies on
The living room armchair
But they say it will work out fine
Was it all a waste of time
'Cause I knew, I knew, I'd lose you
You'll always be special to me
Will I forget in time
You said I was on your mind
There's no need to argue
No need to argue anymore
There's no need to argue anymore
Special

    General CommentThis song really helps people with breakups because the song is like funeral music. Except it's the death of a dear relationship. Because like the way you feel at a funeral of someone who you loved, it's the same with this song. She'll always cherish the moments and times with him. SHe has some regrets, but for the most part this song is about finally letting go.
    In this song she comes to face the facts; her relationship is done, let's just stop fighting. It makes her sad to think that so much effort was put into this relationship when in the back of her mind she sorta knew it wouldn't last forever. She remembers the good times and knows him and this relationship will always be special to her in her heart somewhere. She's slowly letting go.

    General CommentAt the very end if you listen closely you can hear her say "you're special". That always made me think that she hadn't completely gotten over the person in this song.

    And I remember all the
    Things we once shared
    Watching TV movies on
    the living room armchair

    But they say it will work out fine
    Was it all a waste of time
    Cause I knew, I knew I'd loose you

    You 'll always be special to me

    General Commenti thought it was about someone that was close to her, and then had died. actually, this song reminds me of my mothers boyfriend that died a few years ago because she lost him and all. (not that she knew she would). and i can relate to this song also, cause of him.

    General CommentI think it is about a relationship that didn't work out. She gave all she could but it left her so sore because she gave so much but it still didn't work out. If it were death of the other I don't she would be sore about putting so much into the relationship. Also, she asks "was it all a waste of time?", if her significant other would have died I don't think she would consider it "a waste". She states "she knew" she would lose "you", unless he had some sort of terminal illness, she wouldn't know that. But it does give you something to think about that maybe they knew he was going to die. Just a thought.
