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 tried to hold on, but it hurts too much
I tried 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
I cannot 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, too late

Oh, it tears me up
I tried to hold on, but it hurts too much
I tried 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
I cannot give anymore
When I love you a little less
Than before

Oh, 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 can't tell you something that ain't real
Oh, the truth hurts
And lies worse
I cannot give anymore
When I love you a little less
Than before

Oh, you know that I love you a little less
Than before, yeah
Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
