James Morrison opts for the solo route and a more laid-back vibe on this refreshed version of “Broken Strings.” The original track featured Nelly Furtado and was more upbeat.
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 littlе less than before?
[Verse 2]
Oh, what arе 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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?
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
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
[Outro]
Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
James Morrison released Broken Strings (Refreshed) on Fri Feb 11 2022.
“Broken Strings” started off as like a rock song. I rewrote it a lot of times. The song was always kind of there, but we didn’t know how to sort of dress it and then when we put it out as “Broken Strings” as a single, it was very—, had a four to the floor sort of beat and it really worked really wel...
