Broken Strings

[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.
