No, a man has not broken my heart again. Not yet. Just that I can totally relate to this song. 🙂
Needless to say, I’m still recovering from my last heartbreak and I can’t help but feel like I was and still am at the losing end. I’d like to think he wasn’t the best part of me, but he certainly gave me plenty of reasons to be happy about. Most of which was how much I could depend on him to be on my side. All the time, no matter what.
I’m not sure if he’s happy right now. Or if he’s better off without me. But I’m hoping there will be better days ahead for me. And for him. Because even if our hearts didn’t break evenly, we both deserve to be happy.
Here’s the song…
Breakeven
by The Script
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
I’m falling to pieces
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the 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
(One still in love
while the other one’s leaving)
I’m falling to pieces,
(Cuz when a heart breaks
no it don’t break even)
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.
‘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,
(One still in love
while the other one’s leaving)
I’m falling to pieces,
(Cuz 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
*sigh* The Script’s Breakeven and The Man Who Can’t Be Moved are two of the most played tracks on my music player. I can completely relate to the lyrics of Breakeven, too.
I agree… in every breakup, someone else gets hurt more than the other. In my last relationship, I don’t think I was hurt the most, but I feel like the effects of that relationship is taking a toll on me now more than it does on my ex.
I’ve always believed that things happen for a reason. So, keep your head up high. You’ll get there. We’ll get there. 🙂
I can relate with what you said. just have to keep moving forward. this song also reminds me of my ex. he texted me after we formally broke up that this song talks about what he felt that very moment.
“Because even if our hearts didn’t break evenly, we both deserve to be happy.”
I am a firm believer of that too… I really think life will not be fun if things were all equal, like a trade or business transaction. Somebody’s bound to love the other more and get hurt more when it does not work out, I think… 🙂
Honestly, I’d rather be on the end that loves more and hurts more later when it fails. I honestly believe that people who love more are courageous, unafraid to take risks and at the same time, so much more disposed to feeling the ultimate fulfillment and happiness in the relationship.
The Script is so adept in depicting heartache. I also liked Long Gone and Moved On and Exit Wounds. The band will be here on April 16! Sweet! I so want to go and watch them perform live.
BreakEven is my favorite song too. It just reminded me of someone I’d like to kill.
this song is so true!!i just got ditched by a girl for whom i had literally done anything i could….
and now she says she likes someone else and i am so lost…
i am doing my final exams in a week and i still cant get over her…
Life can be so freaking unfair at times!!
Well I guess I’m not the only one who loves this song, keep loving the script guys
