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?
