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
It's 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 tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried 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
A lie is worse
I can't like it anymore
And 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 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 tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried 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
A lie's worse
I can't like it anymore
When I love you a little less than before
But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
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

I can't tell you something that ain't real
Oh the truth hurts
A lie's worse
I can't like it anymore
When I love you a little less than before
Oh and I love you a little less than before
