JAMES MORRISON LYRICS - Broken Strings

"Broken Strings"



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 lies worse

How can I give anymore

When I love you a little less than before



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



You can't play on broken strings

You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel

I can't tell something that ain't real



Well the truth hurts,

And lies 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 (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
