Verse
Let me hold you
For the last time
It's the last chance to feel a-gain
But you broke me
Now I can't feel a-ny-thing
When I love you
It's so un-true
I can't e-ven con-vince my-self
When I'm speak-ing
It's the voice of some-one else
Chorus
Oh it tears me up
I try to hold on
But it hurts too much
I try to for-give
But it's not e-nough
To make it all o-kay
You can't play on brok-en strings
You can't feel a-ny-thing
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you
Some-thing that ain't real
Oh the truth hurts
And a lie is worse
How can I give a-ny-more
When I love you
A lit-tle less than be- fore
Verse
Oh what are we do-ing
We are turn-ing in-to dust
Play-ing house in the ruins of us
Run-ning back through the fire
When there's noth-ing left to save
It's like chas-ing
The ver-y last train
When it's too late
Chorus
But we're run-ning through the fire
When there's noth-ing left to save
It's like chas-ing the ver-y last train
When we both know it's too late (too late)
Let me hold you
For the last time
It's the last chance to feel a-gain
