"Broken Strings" Lyrics

(James)
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

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 and a lie's worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?

(Nelly)
Oh, what are we doing? We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us
(James & Nelly)
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

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 and a lie's 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
(Nelly) Too late

(James & Nelly)
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 a lie's worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?
Oh, yeah, yeah, I love you a little less than before

Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again.
