Who's got time for faded words
There's nothin' new we haven't heard
I wish to hell that I could tell the truth

From all the lies we keep inside
Behind closed doors
Inside our minds

I pray to heaven, save us from ourselves
Well, here I am
Another day

A lifetime's past since yesterday
Still I am no farther than before
Through all the roads and paths we walked

Endless nights alone we talked
Those miles will never mean a thing


And I (I) never thought we had a chance
So you (you) you should fly away, and I will fade


Sometimes life can be so hard
You do your best and still you're scarred
I like you better than myself

And on this point we disagree
You give your love, you're never free
For, break your heart is somethin' I couldn't help


And I (I) never thought we had a chance
So you (you) you should fly away (fly away) and I will fade (and I will fade)


Have you got time for faded words
I've somethin' here you haven't heard

Wish to hell I could of told the truth
Well, there's all these words I couldn't say
A lifetime's past and gone away

Still I am no farther than before

And I (I) I think that maybe we had our chance

So you (you) you flew away, so I will fade (I will fade)
I will fade
You flew away

So I will fade
I will fade
