(Male) 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
