Song Lyrics

Breakeven-The Script

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing

Just prayin' 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 sleeping

'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 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 the bleeding

'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving

And when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven even, no

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

And 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

(One still in love while the other ones leaving)

I'm falling to pieces

('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain

You took your suitcase, I took the blame

Now I'm try'na make sense of what little remains ooh

'Cause you left me with no love and 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

'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 breakeven no

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

What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK

(Oh glad your okay now)

I'm falling to pieces yeah

I'm falling to pieces yeah

I'm falling to pieces

(One still in love while the other ones leaving)

I'm falling to pieces yeah

('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh it don't breakeven no

Oh it don't breakeven no

Oh it don't breakeven no

A/N: 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 you're in this kind of position "just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in".

But yeah, comment and let me know what YOU think the real meaning of this song is (:
