Lyrics Ingrid Michaelson

Ingrid Michaelson

Drink You Gone

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?
