    LYRICS
    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 (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
    (Well 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

    Man, this is my childhood song you don't understand how hard it hits to actually get a new version of it now, thank you so much! I started playing piano a year ago and I'm trying to learn this song on it. Hope you'd like it once I completely got it.

    I watched this man first in 2012. With the love of my life. 10 years later, this love is gone, many other women came after her...James stayed the 10 years in between.
    Bought some minutes ago tickets for his new tour. I will be there 10 years later, he will be there too. The love of my life will not be there.

    So effortless and powerful. The control too it's so so good. I bought the first album back in 06...I can't explain where this takes me back to it always feels so raw. Broken relationships and young love. Yer anyway, love this and basically any song you sing
