Ingrid Michaelson - Drink You Gone Lyrics

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?
