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 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 (1)________ to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real
Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
How can I (2)________ 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 (3)______________ the fire
When there's nothing left to save
It's like chasing the very (4)________ train
When it's too late (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 tell you something that ain't real
Oh, the truth hurts
And lies worse
How can I (5)________ anymore
When I love you a (6)____________ 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 (7)________ know it's too late (too late)
You can't play on (8)____________ 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
So how can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?
Oh, you know (9)________ I love you a little less than before
Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
