James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado - Broken Strings

I just heard and saw the MV of this song for the first time on Channel [V] not long ago. Beside being a nice song, as I listen to it I figured that it somewhat shows what am I feeling right now.

James Morrison is an award-winning English singer-songwriter and guitarist from the UK. "Broken Strings" is a critically acclaimed collaboration single with Nelly Furtado from his second album, Songs for You, Truths for Me in 2008. The single became Morrison's most successful single to date, peaking in the top ten on many European charts, in the top three in the UK and Ireland and topped the charts in Germany and Switzerland.



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 and 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 our 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 say

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 our 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 say

It's like chasing the very last train

When we both know it's too late, too late


You can't play our 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
So 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
