Broken Strings (James Morrison feat Nelly Furtado)

Let me hold you

For the last time

It's the last chance to feel again

But you broke me

Now I can't feel anything

When I love you

Rings so untrue

I can't even convince myself

When I'm speaking

It's the voice of someone else

Oh it tears me up

I try to hold on but it hurts too much

I try to forgive but it's not enough

To make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings

You can't feel anything

That your heart don't want to feel

I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts

A lie's worse

How can I give any more?

When I love you a little less than before

Oh what are we doing

We are turning into dust

Playing house in the ruins of us

Running back through the fire

When there's nothing left to save

It's like chasing the very last train

When it's too late

Too late

Oh it tears me up

I try to hold on but it hurts too much

I try to forgive but it's not enough

To make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings

You can't feel anything

That your heart don't want to feel

I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts

A lie's worse

How can I give any more?

When I love you a little less than before

But we're running through the fire

When there's nothing left to save

It's like chasing the very last train

When we both know it's too late

Too late

You can't play on broken strings

You can't feel anything

That your heart don't want to feel

I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts

A lie's worse

How can I give any more?

When I love you a little less than before

Oh you know that I love you a little less than before

Let me hold you

For the last time

It's the last chance to feel again
