Broken Strings [Live] lyrics

Verse 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

Pre-Chorus

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?

Verse 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

Pre-Chorus

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

Well the truth hurts and lies worse, how can I give anymore

When I love you a little less than before?

Bridge

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)

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

Well truth hurts and lies worse, how can I give anymore

When I love you a little less than before?

(Well you know that I love you a little less than before)

Outro

Let me hold you for the last time, it's the last chance to feel again
