[Intro] I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing Just praying 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 [Verse 1] 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 breakeven Even... no [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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, even ... no [Chorus] 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 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 ('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even) [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 break even no [Chorus] 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 I'm falling to pieces (One still in love while the other one's leaving) I'm falling to pieces ('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even) [Outro] Oh, it don't break even, no Oh, it don't break even, no Oh, it don't break even, no
