Song Of The Day: James Morrison Featuring Nelly Furtado - Broken Strings

I love music - i hear it all the time, it plays through my head whenever and whatever I'm doing, and this morning i heard a song, heard it first time last week - just this morning i had a moment to listen to it, give it its moment and fully get it because it played the moment i woke up. I was still in bed, eyes closed and it started...though the song is actually gut wrenching, well to a degree, it was just what i needed to wake up to, a beatiful tune, with a great melody & simple vocals that though melancholic made me warm & fuzzy and immidiately decided it was a good song i.e soundtrack to my day today - i've been listening to it the whole morning, when i'm not, i hear it in my head. Today's Song Of The Day is the stripped down love ballad, Broken Strings by James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado. I love that he's pretty much center of the song, and she sort of plays off him in a subtle yet very effective way, had she not been there, the song would have still been beautiful but certainly not as haunting.

==========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

Let me hold you for the last time - it's the last chance to feel again
