Broken Strings

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, It's so untrue I can't even convince myself When I'm speaking, It's the voice of someone else Whoa 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 And lies worse How can I give anymore 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 Well the truth hurts, And lies worse How can I give anymore 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 Well truth hurts, And lies worse How can I give anymore 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 --- Broken Strings - Nelly Furtado and James Morrison
