Drink You Gone - Ingrid Michaelson, John Paul White

You can’t lie

Words stay once said

Hard to live, so I play dead

I can’t drink you gone

I can’t smoke you out

I can’t eat away the way that you ate my heart out

Like a sinking ship while the band plays on

When I dream you’re there, I can’t even sleep you gone

How do broken hearts get strong?

Tell me, how do broken hearts get strong?

I still feel your hand in mine

Think I need much more than time

I can’t drink you gone

I can’t smoke you out

I can’t eat away, the way that you ate my heart out

Like a sinking ship while the band plays on

When I dream you’re there, I can’t even sleep you gone

How do broken hearts get strong?

Tell me, how do broken hearts get strong?

I remember when we used to say

(I remember when we used to say)

«Forever, babe,»

(«Forever, babe,»)

Forever, babe

I can’t drink you gone

I can’t smoke you out

I can’t eat away, the way that you ate my heart out

Like a sinking ship while the band plays on

Even when I dream you’re there, I can’t even sleep you gone

How do broken hearts get strong?

Tell me, how do broken hearts get strong?

Oh, how do broken hearts get strong?

Tell me, how do broken hearts go on?
