Broken Strings by James Morrison & Nelly Furtado

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 and so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking
It's the voice of someone else

Oh... it (1)__________ me up
I try to (2)________ 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 (3)________ anything
That your (4)__________ don't (5)________ to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real
Oh the truth hurts
And (6)________ worse
How can I (7)________ anymore
When I love you a (8)____________ less (9)________ before?

Oh, (10)________ are we doing?
We are (11)______________ into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us
Running back through the fire
When there's nothing (12)________ to save
It's (13)________ chasing the very last train
When it's too (14)________ (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 (15)________ you something that ain't real
Oh, the truth hurts
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I (16)________ 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 (17)________ train
When we both (18)________ 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 (19)________ you (20)__________________ that ain't real
Oh, the truth hurts
And lies worse
So how can I (21)________ anymore
When I (22)________ you a little less than before?
Oh, you know that I (23)________ you a (24)____________ (25)________ than before
Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
