Turned off the radio 'Cause there was nothing playing Just the songs of love that did define A love divine that's now not mine I heard a song we knew When we were so familiar Now the words are foreign on my tongue And the tune is barely similar There's no one to blame when your life gets frayed and faded There's nowhere to go, nothing to see There's no way to know what will ever be There's no one to blame when your life gets frayed and faded How'd the world you were born to fit in get you so worn out? Worn out and faded Turned off the telephone 'Cause there was no one calling And the calls I made went unreturned Or maybe weren't received at all When I'd hear your voice Repeat your cheerful greeting I would tear up with experience Of choices I'm still hung up on There's no one above when your love gets frayed and faded There's nowhere to go, nothing to see There's no way to know what will ever be There's no one above when your love gets frayed and faded How'd the world you were born to fit in get you so worn out? Worn out and faded I turned off all the lights Immersed in total darkness While obsessing on my absent friend The outsides finally match what's in You're only to blame when your life gets frayed and faded There's nowhere to go, nothing to see There's no way to know what will ever be You're only to blame when your life gets frayed and faded How'd the world you were born to fit in get you so worn out? There's no way you can ever fit in now that you're worn out Worn out and faded
