Breakeven Lyrics

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

What is the Meaning of Breakeven?

Exploring the raw emotions of heartbreak, this song beautifully captures the unequal distribution of pain after a relationship ends. The protagonist is left grappling with immense sorrow, feeling like he's lost more than just a partner - he's lost a part of himself. He struggles to understand how his ex-partner can move on so easily while he's still in deep despair. The recurring line "when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even" poignantly underscores the unfairness of love and breakups. The lyrics resonate deeply with anyone who has felt abandoned or struggled with moving on from a painful breakup.
