Breakeven Lyrics

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
Coz I got time while she got freedom
Coz when a heart breaks no it don't break even

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
Coz when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop me bleeding
Coz she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks, no it don't break even, even, no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces

You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm trying to make sense of what little remains
Coz you left me with no love, with no love to my name

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
Coz I got time while she got freedom
Coz when a heart breaks, no it don't break--
No it don't break, no it don't break even, no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces

Oh, it don't break even, no (x3)

Has noone pointed out this lyric:

"Her best days will be some of my worst She finally met a man that's gonna put her first While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping Coz when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even no"

I agree with everyone. She was his everything and now she's moving on clearly a lot easier than he is. Did anyone think why??

I've come to the conclusion that he wasn't appreciating his girlfriend and took her for granted. He broke her down during their relaitonship and she had enough. She left, he's crushed, but she left because of his lack of attention for her. She's moved onto someone that's going to look after her properly.

My relationship at the moment but I don't know if it'll change cuz my bf blames everything on me I feel guilty then about even thinking bad things.

We all apply songs to our own lives, our own interpretations. That's what I love about music.. and the lyrics.

My Interpretation

This is absolutely true. The songs that everyone can somehow relate to and put their own definition of meaning from their own perspective to, is genius. We all create our own feeling based on what we've been through.

Agreed! Whenever I hear it I think that the guy broke up with the girl, or at very least caused it, and forced her to move on. Then when she did, regretted it, and realized how much she meant.

Not Valid

I'm in this situation right now ...

I think this song is about how when a relationship ends one person in the relationship is more upset about it than the other person..so the heart break is uneven in the sense that one person suffers more heartache. Love this song :)

i think this song is absolutely beautiful. It really reminds me of the book Eclipse. In that, the main character has two people in love with her, her best friend, and the man she believes is her soul mate. At the end of it all, she chooses the latter, leaving her best friend, jacob, absolutely broken. It's all about how when a relationship ends and you still love the perosn, but they just seem to have got over you so quickly. it really captures the sense of desperation when youre in this kind of position e.g. i just prayed to a god i dnt believe in" but yeh, thats what i think

I love these lyrics. I think its about how when relationships break there is always one person carrying the heavier harder side of the break up. This is so true! 'What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?'

I actually never thought of Eclipse fitting this song but it's soooo true! Love the Twilight collection!

everything you guys said is so true and it does fit in eclipse perfectly :)

It reminds me of exactly what happened with me and my bf. We broke up and he's fine with some other girl and there's nothing i can do.

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?

So true, when you love someone there part of you and in your eyes the best part.

In my opinion thats lyrics genius

I'm praying to a God i dont believe in

Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in

Perfect. I feel like i can completely relate to this song. Lyrically amazing.

"I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing, Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in" Right off the bat The Script punches some powerful lyrics. Some breakups feel so painful that they feel like they could die (still alive but barely breathing) people are desperate for comfort (praying to a god that I don't believe in). This is an amazing song especially if you have felt the emotions it contains. "what am I supposed to say, when I'm all choked up that you're okay?" Sometimes seeing the that other person has happily moved on so quickly makes you wonder if you ever really meant anything to them at all. If you did, why don't they feel the same pain that you feel for them. Amazing song!!!!

My Opinion

Im right there.

This is so my song! it's exactly what happened to me and my bf. i'm totally heart broken while he is like whatever when a relationship is broken up.. "when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven" one person is more "choked up"while the otherone is totally "ok"..

am i right? :]

I think because when she's having her best days, he is knowing that she is having it without him, that he isn't part of her best days. Which makes him sad :(
