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" rings 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 want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real
Oh the truth hurts, and a lie's worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?
(Female)
Oh what are we doing?
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us
(both - divisi)
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, 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 a lie's worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?
Oh 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.
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 a lie's worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?
Oh you know
that I love you a little less than before
