I'm still alive but I'm barely breathin'
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause 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 sleepin'
'Cause 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? And
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're okay?
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah
I'm fallin' to pieces
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleedin'
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grievin'
And when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even, even, no
And what am I going to do when the best part of me was always you? And
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're okay?
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah
I'm fallin' to pieces
(One still in love while the other one's leavin')
I'm fallin' to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even)
Oh, you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathin'
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause 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? And
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're okay?
(Oh, that you're okay now)
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah
I'm fallin' to pieces (oh, I'm fallin', fallin') yeah
I'm fallin' to pieces
(One still in love while the other one's leavin')
I'm fallin' to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even)
Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, it don't break even, no

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.
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.
I'm in this situation right now ...
