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

One of the Most underrated Artists….! Awesome Vocals🙏🏻

[@drewbeeSpirit]

No doubt. His voice is different as well. If he actually wrote this song wow

[@suzannejane1035]

Agreed!!!!

[@minigamescenter4632]

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.

[@waitiehuterry4592]

Cool. It's a primo rendition. I hope you have nailed it. I'm going to learn it on the guitar. ❤️

[@minigamescenter4632]

@@waitiehuterry4592 Still working on it since I'm quite a beginner, still working on my sheet reading too so I'm not that quick, currently on like 30% of the song I'd say

[@rickykiste]

I loved this song as soon as it came out and then he performed it acoustic on children in need and it hit me like a steam train at 200mph

[@paulaallen6649]

Hope u might feel com to share with me ..if n when...soul acoustics ❤

[@HeadphonesMonkes]

[@nicosialegaspi]

THIS SONG WILL NEVER GET OLD

[@schmosby11]

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.

[@ngel2323]

My condolences, James! Stay strong!

[@diana6294]

One of the most beautiful voice in the world...So beautiful!
