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 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  to win
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 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
Oh the 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

Lyrics & chords · Original key

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 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 to win

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 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

Oh the 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
