  • 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

    Whoa 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 give 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 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
    Well the truth hurts
    And lies worse
    How can I give anymore
    When I love you a little 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 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

    Well truth hurts
    And lies 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

    Let me hold you for the last time
    It's the last chance to feel again Writer/s: Fraser Thorneycroft Smith, James Catchpole, Nina Woodford
