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 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 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?
