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 (1)________ anything

When I (2)________ you and so untrue
I can't (3)________ 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 (4)________ on broken strings
You can't (5)________ anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you (6)__________________ that ain't real
Oh the truth hurts
And (7)________ worse
How can I give anymore
When I (8)________ you a (9)____________ less (10)________ before?

Oh, (11)________ are we doing?
We are turning (12)________ dust
Playing house in the (13)__________ of us
Running (14)________ through the fire
When there's (15)______________ (16)________ to save
It's like chasing the very last train
When it's too (17)________ (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 (18)________ anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something (19)________ ain't real
Oh, the truth hurts
And lies worse
How can I (20)________ anymore
When I love you a little less than before?
But we're running through the fire
When there's (21)______________ left to save
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both (22)________ it's too (23)________ (too late)
You can't play on broken strings
You can't (24)________ anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't (25)________ you something that ain't real
Oh, the truth hurts
And lies worse
So how can I give anymore
When I (26)________ you a little less than before?
Oh, you know that I (27)________ you a little (28)________ than before
Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
