Broken Strings by James Morrison & Nelly Furtado

Let me hold you
For the last time
It's the (1)________ chance to feel again
But you broke me
Now I can't feel anything

When I love you and so untrue
I can't even (2)________________ myself
When I'm speaking
It's the (3)__________ of someone else

Oh... it tears me up
I try to hold on but it (4)__________ too much
I try to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay
You can't (5)________ on broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your (6)__________ don't want to feel
I can't (7)________ you something that ain't real
Oh the (8)__________ hurts
And (9)________ worse
How can I (10)________ anymore
When I (11)________ you a little less (12)________ before?

Oh, what are we doing?
We are turning (13)________ dust
Playing house in the (14)__________ of us
Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to save
It's like chasing the very (15)________ train
When it's too (16)________ (too late)
Oh... it tears me up
I try to hold on but it (17)__________ too much
I try to forgive but it's not enough
To (18)________ 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 (19)__________ hurts
And lies worse
How can I (20)________ anymore
When I (21)________ you a (22)____________ 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 (23)________ know it's too (24)________ (too late)
You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't (25)________ to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real
Oh, the truth hurts
And lies worse
So how can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?
Oh, you know that I love you a little (26)________ than before
Let me hold you for the last time
It's the (27)________ chance to feel again
