Breakeven is a song by Irish band The Script. It narrates the feelings of heartbreak and the emotional imbalance between the parties involved in a breakup. The inspiration came from the band members own romantic experiences, making the song highly relatable to anyone who has gone through similar losses.
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in Cos I got time while she got freedom Cos 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 Cos 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 OK, yeah 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 Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving And when a heart breaks no it don't break even (even)
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 OK, yeah I'm falling to pieces, yeah I'm falling to pieces, yeah I'm falling to pieces (One still in love while the other one's leaving) I'm falling to pieces (Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)
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 Cos you left me with no love and no love to my name
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in Cos I got time while she got freedom Cos 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 OK I'm falling to pieces, yeah I'm falling to pieces, yeah (Oh, I'm falling, I'm falling... yeah) I'm falling to pieces (One still in love while the other one's leaving) I'm falling to pieces (Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)
Oh, it don't break even, no, oh Oh, it don't break even, no, oh Oh, it don't break even, no
