Everybody's high on consolation
Everybody's tryin' to tell me what is right for me, yeah
My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon
But it's plain to see that they can't comfort me
Sorry Johnny for the imposition
I think I got it

I got the strength to carry on
I need a drink and a quick decision
Now it's up to me, ooh, what will be
He's gone, oh I

Oh I, I'd better learn how to face it
He's gone, oh I,
Oh I, I'd pay the devil to replace him
He's gone, oh I,
What went wrong?

Get up in the morning and look in the mirror
I'm worn as a toothbrush hangin' in the stand
My face ain't lookin' any younger
Now I can see

Love's taken its toll on me
He's gone, oh I,
Oh I, I'd better learn how to face it
He's gone oh I,
Oh I, I'd pay the devil to replace him
He's gone, oh I,
What went wrong?

Think I'll spend eternity in the city
Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away
The pretty bodies help dissolve the memories
They could never be what he was to me

He's gone, oh I,
Oh I, I'd better learn how to face it
He's gone, oh I,
Oh I, I'd pay the devil to replace him
He's gone, oh I,
What went wrong?
Whoa...
He's gone

I'd better learn how to face it
I can't believe that he's gone, oh I
He's gone

I'd better learn how to face it
I can't believe that he's gone, oh I
He's gone, he's gone, he's gone...
