Broken strings - James Morrison

1.
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.
2.
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.
Pre.
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.
Ref.
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.
Ref2.
Oh the truth hurts
and lies worse,
how can I give anymore
when I love you a little less than before.
3.
Oh what are we ...doing,
we are tur ning into dust,
playing house in
the ruins of us.
4.
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.
Pre. - Ref. - Ref2.
Brd.
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).
Ref. - Ref2.
Out.
Let me hold you for the last time, it's the last chance to feel again.
