    I love how James has so much passion when be sings. You can hear the way he feels the pain and the beauty. It is hard to do that in todays music.industry. I will always love artists like James. For example ed sheeran, they are what music stands for.

      I saw him live supporting Corrine Bailey Rae in Edinburgh over 10 years ago. She had seen him busking in Leeds and asked him to tour with her. His talent is unreal. I chatted to him on MySpace 🙄 if you remember that lol and went to all his Scottish gigs. My 3 girls (now adults) know all the words to his albums 😂 xx

    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"
    Rings 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
    A lie's worse
    How can I give any more?
    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
    Oh, the truth hurts
    A lie's worse
    How can I give any more?
    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
    Oh, the truth hurts
    A lie's worse
    How can I give any more?
    When I love you a little less than before
    Oh, 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

    You have to take in consideration that she's not the lead singer there, she can't just overpower James, she has kinda to be on the background. I honestly love this version and the way they sing together! I actually prefer this version instead of the original.

    I tried to forgive but it's not enough

    When I love you a little less than before?

    A voz desta cantora é muito melhor do que a da outra cantora que aparece no vídeo oficial; claro que para o meu gosto, e gosto é algo subjetivo.
