Broken Strings

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.

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.

[Chorus:]
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.

2. 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.

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.

[Chorus]

[Coda:]
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 cant 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.

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