James Morrison - Broken Strings

Unser Freund James Morrison hat mit seinem aktuellen Song "Broken Strings" einen richtigen Hit gelandet und genau deshalb bekommt ihr auch diesen bei uns vorgestellt.

Dass dieser Song so erfolgreich ist, liegt wahrscheinlich auch daran, dass James Morrison ihn im Duett mit Nelly Furtado interprtiert, wodurch automatisch eine breitere Zielgruppe angesprochen wird...aber ich will "Broken Strings" auf keinen Fall schlecht machen, denn wie ihr seht, erfährt er auch bei TonKünste Aufmerksamkeit :)

In Deutschland hat er diesen Song unter anderem mit Gabriella Cilmi als Nelly Furtado Ersatz vorgetragen (z.B. bei "Schlag den Raab") und auch in dieser Aufstellung fand er genug Resonanz um in den Single Charts bis auf Platz 1 in Deutschland zu gelangen (in der Originalversion mit Nelly Furtado)...viel Spaß mit dem Song vom Album "Songs for You, Truth for Me"

"Broken Strings" feat. Nelly Furtado & inklusive Lyrics


Songtext:

"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 tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried 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
A lie is worse
I can't like it anymore
And 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 tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried 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
A lie's worse
I can't like it anymore
When I love you a little less than before

But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
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

Oh the truth hurts
A lie's worse
I can't like it anymore
When I love you a little less than before

Oh and I love you a little less than before
Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again..."
