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 (1)______________ else

Oh... it (2)__________ me up
I try to (3)________ on but it hurts too much
I try to (4)______________ 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 (5)________ worse
How can I (6)________ anymore
When I (7)________ you a little less than before?

Oh, what are we doing?
We are (8)______________ into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us
Running (9)________ through the fire
When there's (10)______________ (11)________ to save
It's like chasing the (12)________ last train
When it's too (13)________ (too late)
Oh... it tears me up
I try to hold on but it hurts too much
I try to (14)______________ 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 (15)________ to feel
I can't tell you (16)__________________ that ain't real
Oh, the (17)__________ 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 (18)______________ left to save
It's (19)________ chasing the very (20)________ train
When we (21)________ (22)________ 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 (23)________ worse
So how can I give anymore
When I love you a little (24)________ than before?
Oh, you know that I love you a little less than before
Let me hold you for the (25)________ time
It's the (26)________ chance to feel again
