Song lyrics
[James Morrison] 
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 Furtado] 

Oh
What are we doing 
We are turning into dust 
Playing house in the ruins of us 

[Both] 
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 Furtado] 
Too late 

[Both] 
You can't play on broken strings 
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel 
I cant 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

Sorry James, it should've been much better with a whole verse sung by Nelly only. I can't call this "a duet".
Anyway, when both sing the chorus, it sounds very nice.

Sorry Nelly, you chose the wrong duet partner. The wrong James.
