The Script – Breakeven lyrics

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 breakeven... 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
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 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 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 ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
(Cos 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
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
(Oh glad you're okay now)
I'm falling to pieces yeah
(Oh I'm glad you're okay)
I'm falling to pieces yeah
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
(Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh it don't break even no
Oh it don't break even no
Oh it don't break even no

What more is there to say? How can you breathe while they're having the time of their life? How can you exist while their new love is living as well? Everything is falling apart, and you just about lose all faith in anything and everything. You look at the door. Are they there? Then you realize the shocking truth. When your heart is torn apart they take a piece with them. You're never whole again.

I love how this song exactly describes my feelings. I was with this girl for 4 years, I love her so much(and still do), and she was so happy with me too. One and a half month ago a childhood friend of mine confessed to her that he likes her, and suddenly she told me that she has no feelings for me anymore. She said all these 4 years it was real love, but now that is all gone. I still couldn't believe what happened. And I still love her. I see her in my dreams everyday. I just hope one day we will be together again.

I love this song :) just completely gets my situation, My ex of 3 years who I have a child with broke up with me 2 months back for a bit of freedom and a couple of nights out, She claims she got over me instantly and dosen't love me anymore, No amount of tears and desperation could bring her back, I wanted to settle she wanted to roam, I stay she leaves, When we break we don't break even, I'm in this ship wreck alone forever waiting to be rescued.

I had a secret crush on a girl who just started seriously with someone else and she suddenly appeared and wanted to talk like we used to do. I couldn't talk. I just froze as in 'all choked up that you're ok'. I must have blushed also and she could see I was 'falling to pieces'. Definitely my most embarrasing moment since now my secret was known. I avoided her until I could leave the area and I never saw her again. That was over 15 years ago but it still hurts like yesterday.

Look. There are days where id rather stab my heart than go on living anything is better than this pain. I didn't know this much pain was possible. Alot of my "friends" stopped talking to me cause they like my exs new girl better. I hate this hole I've broke down to my knees and cried so much I beg god every day to take my life and give it to someone who would appreciate it. I welcome death. This song is beautiful "no wise words gonna stop the bleeding" this is true for me cause I'm still looking for those magic words that will cure everything.

"Break even" is truly my life wrapped up in one song. Relationships are rarely at a balance so 1 prsn will undoubtedly have the upper hand in the end it all just depends on who can be more cold hearted than the other. The irony of it all is that we teach our lover(s) how 2 hurt us, so who do you blame? You can also choose to close yourself in but then you won't experience happiness at its fullest potential. This song is definitely a classic 4 the ages, and it helps hopeless romantics like me know that I'm not the only 1 going thru stuff like this, which could possibly and hopefully speeds the healing process. Big thanx 2 "The Script"

Recently, my girlfriend and I broke up. I tried to get her back but she insisted that she doesn't love me anymore. I fall into pieces that time but when I'm looking at her eyes I can still feel the connection between us.
Now, I'm still waiting for her to come back, waiting for the time she realizes that I'm the best man for her.
Really can't see myself being with girl other than her. I really love her, I still do.

This is my life right now. This is the pain I feel. This is unbearable. He is happy with her. He is my best-friend. He left me for inexcusable reasons. My emotions have grown shallow. My heart is in a million pieces. I'm done with love. If for some magical reason it comes back. My expectations wont be the same. For he was the one. And I am to blame.

I can relate to this song so well. My ex and me started dating after we had only seen eachother once. I'm not sure why he started to like me, but he did. Well, we started dating and we met up shortly after, and I thought we connected really well. It was that day that I knew I loved him. A couple weeks later, he broke up with me because we didn't get to see eachother enough. At first I was fine, but a month later, I became really upset, and still am. He's dated girls since and I'm still not over him. I still love him. I guess the songs right. A heart doesn't breakeven.

I love this song, it relates to me in a funny way. Am not in love with him, I can't be. I just knew him 4 few months, I just love him but what hurts is not even the fact that he left to another but the fact that he left without a word, I don't even know what went wrong, if I did anything wrong, it was all good and all of a sudden pang! It went dead, he wudnt take my calls, reads my messages and never replies. How cruel can humans be to fellow human. My heart is Heavy.-

My favorite lines are "Her best days will be some of my worst...She finally met a man who's gonna put her first..."
I hope this song rings deep for my ex. After 12 years of marriage where I was the only one all in I finally said no more and meant it. He tried his best to convince me he could change, but it was too late. I finally met a man who put me first and I'm not looking back. To all you men and women out there who don't or won't appreciate your sig other, listen to this song before it's too late.

As others have posted. This song is right on point. I've been dating a guy who I enjoy spending time with and have very deep feelings for. Unfortunately reality has set in and I am forced to face the fact that I am not the only woman in his life. I couldn't believe that God would allow this to happen to me again. I am going to miss him terribly, but I have to let go and let God be the main instrument of my purpose in life. To all of you feeling emotional turmoil, know there are better days to come if we only trust in God. Only He has the answers.

This song means so much to me. My husband just left me and my two boys for another woman. No warning, nothing. He just acts like its another day for him. And has left me behind to deal with the clean up.
This song hits home hard for me, and it makes me cry because it nails everything I have going on in my head I want to say to him down. Thank you The Script. You said my thoughts and feelings and put them down on paper for me.

I'm only 16 years old but I was with this girl for 2 and a half years and everything was great, we were both as happy as could be. One day I'm in school and I was going to see her and I see her cheating on me with my best friend and even though at that moment I knew it was over I still love her no matter what and every night I dream about her and every morning I wake up knowing that the best part of me is gone.

To me it means that I knew who I was when I was with my boyfriend. But when I lost him I felt like crap. He took my everything. My soul, and my heart. I cannot function without him- he has taken everyhting from me, but he is so happy with another girl. That is not fair and that is what kills me the most. I'm broken yet he is a happy man. It's not equal.

When I first heard this song it just so happened to be on the weekend that I was balling my eyes out over my X. And I was like-That is exactly how I feel. When it says I'm falling to pieces that is how I felt. When my X and I split I was like why? I fel so alone and this song is my favorite because when ur heart breaks and you feel like you can't go through another day of lonliness and that youve wasted about 6 months on nothing your lost. This song is everyhing that I feel. My heart is broken and it dindnt break even.

I went through some of the comments posted and felt really sad that there are so many of us going through the same thing but I am thankful that this one song can help us each in our own way find comfort if not understanding. I know how horrible I feel when he is all I can think about, and all that's on his mind is someone else. It's really hard to explain our relationshipt but I still with all my might want to be his friend and be happy and hear about all the good things happening in his life but honestly I don't think the pain in my heart will allow me too. And I don't want to lose him completely.

I rlly love the words selection of the lyrics. But I feel this song related to me in a different way. I was once in love with my boyfriend's best friend. Since I loved my bf so much that time, it took no time to make him my only male best friend. Not long after 'i got time' when he asked breaking up for 'a freedom', I realized that "i find a man who gonna put me first" I loved him at least as much as to my bf. He is rlly a man from mars. He is one in a billion. It was better than fiction I can say. But at last I choose to be with my bf again. He 'took the blame' and probably thought I 'took none of the pain' I left him for 'an inexcuseable reason' not a single "sorry" was out of my mouth. It's because I was also hurt so bad til 'no wise word can stop the bleeding' he must be thinking this song is rlly suitable to be sung to me. But now after 4years passed. He still have a piece of my heart. But he is in love with another girl. And me.? In a desperation of breaking up with my 10years bf. Actually he is in the upper hand though he doesn't and will never know. And yes. When a heart breaks. No, it don't break even.

I've been thinking that this song should be for me. When I break up with my loved ones, I don't even feel a thing. Not that I don't love him before, it's just I'm too tired of all those things. He had been too sensitive of all small things, even that the things was illogically can be the reason why we were fighting all the time. We do fight, almost everyday and that's because he's too sensitive and I'm being heartless. Not that I don't care about him or what, it's just I don't know how to comfort him because for me, that's just small thing. For the climax, one night, when we're fighting for the small thing, I felt nothing left for him anymore. I'm just wasting my time. With him, I've hurt my own heart. Pretending that I'm always okay after each of our fights, I can't do this any more. I'm too tired of all these. So this song shows how he may feel after this because I've moved on. No more hurt.

My ex felt like this song. What he didn't know that I'm not okay. It seems like I am, but I am not. The truth is that I haven't moved on. But he broke me thousands of time and I thought that I must try to move on. It's been 2 years but I haven't succeed, and now he's playing around other girls' heart in the name of his pain because of me.

When you have a break up, it affects the two people differently. One person in the relationship might be fine and move on quickly, while the other person might be suffering. This song is about a person who was in a relationship and broke up. They are having a really bad time while the other person is fine. "breakeven" just resembles how both people aren't affected in the same way.

I used to have a friend (who was a girl) I never really thought of her as anything but a friend, and later on in my life, as I matured we started to get closer, but another girl came into the situation, and one thing led to another, and I ended up making out with that new girl. My friend saw me in action, and caught me red handed. And from then on she never wanted to talk to me again, although she did tell me she was really upset by this. As I was with the other girl, I could never get my friend out of my head, I just wish I had never made that mistake, and I wish I could go back and make it right.

I don't fall for someone easy and yet I fell for him the first time I saw him. I love this song and listen to it everyday to help the pain and to realize that people understand. He told me he loved me and we had a thing for eight months but never went out. We always were dedicated to eachother but never nedded the title. My bestfriend stole him from me and they went out and when he was done with her he wanted me back and I couldn't resist. But now I have a boyfriend but it's not the same. I still love him so much and want him but I know that it'll never work. I'm falling to pieces.

I'm 55 years old and I listen to this kind of music all the time. I've been with my wife for 18 years, and she just told me this past April that she doesn't love me anymore. I did everything for her, but she has a new career and it's all about her job and she's gone all the time. This song rings so true in every lyric, except there isn't anyone else, well I guess the someone else is her job and she loves it. But she was and still is the best part of me. I drive for a living, so I listen to a lot of radio, so my eyes tear up constantly. Friends and my counselor tell me I need to move on. But how can I move on when she is what I want.

I guess this song kinda has a meaning to me. I know I'm probably gonna sound like some blonde teenager, but I don't really care. One of my friends told me that he liked me, and I'd liked him back for a long time, but he was my best friend's ex, so I didn't try to start anything with him. After a while, my best mate got back with him, and things went back to the way they were, with them totally inseperable, ad me walking along behind them, trying not to interfere. He's so happy when he's with her, but that makes me feel bad because I know I'd never have made him feel that way. He hardly ever speaks to me any more, and I feel like I've lost him as a friend. I started learning this song on guitar a while back, and I think it kinda fits with my situation.

This song isn't all about love being lost and their the best part of you its also about trying to get bak on your feet and getting over it even tough it hurts. So if you see them and their happy then get happy. You shouldnt be the one sufferring so stop waiting for them to come back cuz even if they do they don't deserve you. This is for all the people whove had their hearts broken and are waiting for the person to come back because really even though they were the best part of you, theres tons more just waiting to be discovered and fill that hole that they left.

I like this song since the first time I hear it. Well, I guess, this song will be the new soundtrack of my life. I'm in love with this guy who is more than a friend and less than a boyfriend. I can talk to him for hours, tell him everything and about anything and he never judge me. And I thought if God would have asked me what kind of guy would I wanted Him to send to me, I would describe him coz he's exactly what I wanted. But then just a week ago, he made an announcement that he's going to be a father. He got someone else pregnant. He was thrilled and excited about it. Then they got engaged. And I'm devastated. I can't talk to him anymore coz just like the song says "What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always u? What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're ok? I'm falling to pieces.". And yeah I'm falling to pieces. What am I gonna do. Losing him is just like losing myself.

This song is so touching! My absolute fave lines are "One's still in love while the other one's leaving", "I've got time but she's got freedom", "and when a heart breaks, no it don't break even". Also shouldn't the song name be Break (notice the space!) Even? Oh, well, doesn't change how moving the song is. Personally I've never been in a relationship but this song is sooo beautiful. Well-thought lyrics, a subtle calming and tasteful tunes, and a rythmic lulling melody. Amazing.

Well this song means alot to me. My fiance just broke up with me. We were freakin supposed to get married and we are having twins together and now she just wants to be "friends". Its some crazy stuff and I can't believe its happening to me. We used to be so happy together and so in love and everything, I don't know what went wrong and where. Sorta kinda but not really. I wish I could still be with her so bad. I miss her, so the lyrics mean so much to me because I am praying to a god I don't believe in and I am still alive but barely breathing, while I am wide awake she has no trouble sleeping, what am I supposed to when the best part of me was always her, and what am I supposed to say that I am all choked up and she is ok.

I think this song is about the guy being so sad that the girl got over him and took his heart and hers with her when she left. Obviously his heart was broken unevenly, and she took the bigger part of it. She has now moved on, and the guy actually treats her right and this guy is still crying and wondering what went wrong. I think that happens to everyone. When someone leaves you, you wonder why? Some people don't even see it coming, I think that happened in this song as well.
I love this song!

It's about a boy who looses a girl in which he cares deeply for her. But they then separate then leaving him in sorrow and tears and he realizes how much he really cares for her. But at the same time he can't stand to see her happy without him in her life. Once they separate his heart is broken. But it didn't break even. Which means it didn't just painfully hurt or it didn't at all. It didn't break even so he was left feeling angry, hurt, upset and this song is trying to show he feels now. Sammii elliot.

This song is about a person who is heartbroken. He realizes the she had the piece of his heart that made them one and now that it is gone its like day and night meaning all of her days are better while his are worse. But he realizes that she has moved on to something better and it hurts when you can't say anything and all he can do now is to mend it back as good as possible but it will always break again when he sees her.

My love broke up with me. We were together only for 3 weeks but these 3 weeks were the best days of my life. I miss talking to her everyday. I miss all the things we shared. She said that i'll slowly get over her and it'll make me stronger. But all I am becoming is weaker. I cried for 2 whole nights for her. She never knew or cared to know. Its been 1 month since we broke up. But I still want her like hell. I am choked up but she's okay. I am falling to pieces. I guess our hearts didn't break even: '(

I had him. We were like the perfect romance movie together. We were intimate and we could tell each other anything and everything. I screwed up big time. We broke up. I'm filled with regrets and I miss him. He's happy. Seeing that is like my personal living hell. We're friends now. But I have to pretend that I don't like him.

A friend of mine liked me for 6 months, I had no knowledge of this and was unhappy in a relationship. He never even hinted he liked me, when my ex finished with me, my 'friend' rescued me, we honestly had a movie-like relationship. He was perfect in every way, I messed up. Now, he realizes he's so happy without me and my silly mind games, all the mistakes I was making have now became clear to me, but it's too late, he's happy, with all the attention from all these beautiful girls, and I'm still alive, not enjoying life, 'still alive but I'm barely breathing'. He got me through so much, and now I have nobody, i'll never give up on getting him back though, this song makes me feel less alone.

I find myself having a problem dealing with happiness because I can't justify to my mind what, why and how I feel about you. That no matter what I do, there would be no me and you. And I know, one day, I'd wake up realizing that you can never love me the way I want to be loved. It's the disappointing reality for 'me' making you to be my top priority, above everything else, while allowing myself to be your option.!

I user to be friend with a girl, she was my best friend, one day I realised that I had real feelings for her, she was always saying she were looking for a relationship with someone she could get along with like a friend. So one day I told her. She was confused, and said no. Since that day she never ever talked with like we used to. My heart was breaking as I was losing her as a friend. Then, after some times, she began to date with a guy that was so mean and possessive. It broke my heart even more cause since that day I've never ever saw her again.

This song just describes a part of my life. I used to be in a relationship with a guy that I met at summer through a best friend of mine that told me to add him on yahoo. At first we were just friends but our relationship grew bigger to the point that we called eachother on the telephone day-by-day and talked for atleast 4 hours straight. He went to my school, we hardly talked much at school, since he's a year older than me and it was his final year. Everyone knew about us though. Then at the end of the year my parents decided to move to a different country. I told him, and he was devastated he cried and begged me to stay, but I couldn't. He promised me that he'd never forget about me and that he'll never date anybody else, I trusted him. After a few months we grew apart and stopped talking to each other. Then one day my best friend, the one that introduced us to each other told me that he was dating someone. My heart sank. I cried for days, I couldn't believe that he did that to me. But I guess if I really loved him I would let him be happy even if it would hurt me. I still have feelings for him, I still do. I hope that someday we'll see each other again and be together. I still thank friend once in a while for telling me to add him. Without her I would've never met him.

I think it's means the singer is regretful over a break up. Either he broke up with her or they both just broke up. And he is feeling regret while the girl is over it already. I feel exactly the same. -_- I love this song because it explains a lot to me. I broke up with my boyfriend who was my best friend first. And now we barely even talk and I feel like crap and all alone. So this song kinda makes me feel better ^_^.

Might be the right song just for me. I had a huge crush with this girl on the neighborhood through the years. Once realized that she only pictured me as a computer geek and had no mutual feelings for me so I decided to give up and just asked for friendship. I tried to be bold with my feeling through those years and it was still a big no.
Then found out that it only took a week for one of my closest friends in the neighborhood to get her. Also that close friend of mine knows about my feelings towards her. They both didn't care about what I'd feel for them.

I fell in love with one girl, she's amazing and sooo so gorgeous. I cherished her so much, I tool her out and bought her all these things. She did actually tell me she loved me, but a month after, she told me she liked someone else. That killed me inside, this was a while ago but you never get over this kind of thing. That's why I love this song, it seems like the only thing that understands.

When you break, you fall. Its like newtons law what goes up must come down. When the one you love someone its like your whole world revolves around them. They are your joy, happiness, and well-being. When they go away you think you might die its hard to breath to speak. It takes forever to get back on your feet. And there's always that glimmer of hope that they'll come back. When they don't, you break again, this time you shatter and you feel like you'll never recover never be the same without them. What I think this song means is that you'll never recover from it there will always be that hurt and that pain.

I'm in this situation. This guy. Who I've liked for 4 years. I thought he loved me. Guess not. He's fine now. He says he's happy with another girl. He says we're better off as friends. Are we? Am I better off? Even when everytime I see him, my heart leaps into the air? Even though I cried myself to sleep so many times that week. Even though when I think of them, I am sad all over. I ache inside. How can I be whole again? He says i'll find someone else. I don't want someone else. : he made my day, everyday. Holding his hand made me feel like a million bucks.

I had a platonic relationship with this guy for a while but then we kissed and everything changed, I was sooo happy to b in his life and he seemed happy too, we decided to keep it quiet because we worked together. I trusted a friend with this info because I was so excited about him. Someone told him that I wastalking to everyone about it and he just dumped me and it seemed like it didn't hurt him at all he just walked away angry like I had committed a huge murder, he no longer lives in this city. Its been a year today and I'm still grieving. This song is perfect for me. It lets my soul cry as I sing. There are no tears because I have none left.

My girlfriend and I were together for more than 2 years. It was a fantasy-brought-to-life. I thought it'll be forever. But one day she just said she didn't love me anymore. I made no protest then. Because it hasn't occurred to me yet that I was dumped. Really hard. Considering that we made our future clear when we were still together. I thought we were just going through a really bad phase. But not a month had gone by. I heard that she and her ex, (the one before me) were together again. Ouch!. But I still love her. And I'm still waiting for her. I want her back because I know her ex doesn't deserve her. She's too precious for her.

Breakeven is about a man who was in a relationship that apparently went sour. His woman left him and she has freed herself from him but he's still kinda caught up with her. So the breakeven part of the song is really refering to the heart. As he says "when a heart breaks it doesn't break even" that would suggest that after a relationship has ended the man and woman do not share the same amount of pain. So I guess the heart was broken more on his side so he experienced much of the regrets, pain, sleeplessness, blame for the relationship that went sour. So all this has caused him to feel as if he's falling to pieces and feel as if he's doing a prison sentence while she has freedom.

When a heart breaks the person leaving is left with a bigger part. The girl left because she didn't feel needed and she elt neglected. He loved her and she never actually knew. I loved this guy for a while and he moved(the sad ending to every teenage story). I was dumb enough to let him leave wwith out saying a word. I feel he has a part of me I can never get back. My heart broke and when it did he had a bigger piece.

I think the song is a little deeper than it appears. The line that gets me is "what am i supposed to do when the best part of me was always you". That is often the hardest part of a break up when one person is truly in love and the other isn't. When you are in love the other person inspires you to be something better than you are alone. So you are not only losing them, you are losing the person you were with them. Then the line "what am i supposed to say when i'm all choked up and your ok. " this is the point where the person realizes, somewhere deep down, that they didn't love you like you loved them. Where you weren't the best part of them, even though they were the best part of you. I think that is the most devastating part of a break up.

Well the song is about a guy who is broken hearted about his ex girlfriend, while she is fine and having the time of her life with another man. She probably broke up with him to be with the other guy. The meaning of the song is that breaking up with the person you are in love with is hard. Especially, when she is not even losing an ounce of sleep over it.

I see this song as a well put together melodic ballad for those that have a hard time moving on. It's an example of non-progression. Sometimes it just hurts that much. Then you feel as though you put more into the relationship than they did. While the pain of losing this person is the anchor for all the pain you feel, you're also pissed at yourself because you let go of too much of yourself to the wrong person and now it's so hard to let go. Hopefully you understand that this will work itself out eventually. However, in the middle of this kind of tourture, you're not thinking so clearly.

Its like you were tore apart and feels like you love your girl so much with all your heart. As she say I love you too but suddennly or unfortunately she broke up without hesitation and without fighting. Your heart is mourning and in sorrow while the girl you love is living a life as is and nothing happens. Its choking and killing you inside swalloing alone the truth. It hurts but its very true.

Everytime I hear this song, I picture me and my boy alone in the park. I have loved him since I first layed my eyes on him, which is a pun because I am blind. Love isn't looks, love can be about feelings and heartbreak. My true love recently told me he could not cope with the stress of a handicapped girlfriend, I am heartbroken. My helper has typed this for me, and I just want you to know, that you don't have to see to love, love is blind. When my heart broke, it didn't break even no. Oh no,.

I'm a girl, and this song describe my situation perfectly.
My ex break up with me about 4months ago, we date for 2years, and after we break up, he started going out with his-so-called-little-sister. It hurts.
Before we broke up, he used to start calling for fights, I don't know what I've done. It feels like he was pushing me to broke up with him.
And after all those hard times, I still have feelings for him.
The words "you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain, you took the suitcase and i took the blame" always gets me everytime.
I cried myself to sleep everyday and I wish I could hate him.

I think it means he was dumped by a girl but he still loves her. He suffers from heart-broke pains but he knew they weren't working out before. They were like chalk and cheese, but their love was so strong until she dumped him. It wasn't even because she had an amazing life whereas he had so many bad days. The girl has now found a man who can treat her better, so he is desperate to have another chance. In my opinion, he should try to move on and realise the fact that life's too short.
You are amazing and I'm not just saying that! You were the first ever concert I saw and I love you danny! I'm not just a fan. You should see my room! Breakeven is my all time favourite song and I admit, I'm obsessed and a bit ocd about you guys! Oh, I'm only eleven and we are going to do a year 6 "the voice" and I wanna sing breakeven! I love you danny!

It reminds me of exactly what happened with me and my bf. We broke up and he's fine with some other girl and there's nothing I can do.
What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?
So true, when you love someone there part of you and in your eyes the best part.
In my opinion that's lyrics genius.
I'm praying to a god I don't believe in.
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in.
Perfect. I feel like I can completely relate to this song. Lyrically amazing. In this case, hes the one suffering most - "what am i supposed to say, when im all choked up and you're ok? "i think this song is about how when a relationship ends one person in the relationship is more upset about it than the other person. So the heart break is uneven in the sense that one person suffers more heartache. Love this song :).

There are probably so many stories of heartbreak. I am divorced at 26 years old. I was with my high-school sweetheart from age 16-26 and we finally got married three years ago. Things were rocky and I made a lot of selfish mistakes. It led to her wanting to end it. It ended so badly and I regret every bit of it. Now I don't know if she is happy, she is with someone else, and I am still hanging on for the hope she misses something about me. I think about her every single day of my life and I have to live with the regret of it all. This song just makes me wonder - is it possible, will she ever come back? I'm sorry sara - I'm here, maybe someday.

What's the point of living while you see your world falling? If she's happier not being with you. She's not even affected about the problems that you encounter. She's near, yest so far. " when a heartbreak no it don't breakeven. " that part, for me is the most meaningful. It means that if two lovers fall apart there's a chance that the other would suffer/ be hurt more. That the other may just be having a good time while your here, alon. She may have moved on but you still don't. It happens to me. My 2 bestfriends are in an mu now, I've tried making them to be a couple, I say that I'm don't love huim anymore, but the truth is I really do.

The true meaning can only be understood when you've been in love and also lost that very person. But later on, you realize that you are incomplete without her and you try telling her. But you find out that she is seeing another guy already and when you try telling her that you can make her the happiest girl in the world, she wont believe you. And you are left all alone by yourself, hurt and lost in a meaningless world. Cuz she was your first and the only one you could ever pour out your love to.

When you and the person your with split up. Even thought some think it would hurt the same for both. Sometimes one feels a lot more pain then the other could even imagine. And it hurts you even more to see how well the other person is doing with out you. Even thought your might be falling to pieces. It feels unfair, when the person who broke your hearts gets everything they want. And you lose everything.

It's so refreshing to have a song about both heartbreaks. The girl he's in love with moved on so quickly, maybe because that was her way to deal with heartbreak, or he just hasn't got over it in a long time. He wants her to suffer the same as he does and it hurts him to see her happy. Even though it can make him look quite selfish, it's a great song because it really reflects what people actually feel like after a bitter breakup. Wanting to wish the best but not being able to get over it. The script are an amazing band and they along with their co-writers are so lyrically talented!

This song really gets to me. I think it shows danny really understands what love feels like. And what it feels to lose someone you really love. Love. It's not a term he uses lightly, that much is clear. Not the commercialised nonsense we mistake for it, but the real - sometimes painful- longing a person can have just to be with the one they love. This song grasps that feeling, and makes me sad as it makes the listeners understand the real pain of having that love taken away.

The reason I was listening to this song, is because I'm going through something similiar to what he's talking about in the song. The guy I'm in love with has moved on to someone else, and I have to smile and pretend to be happy for him. I hope you realize what you have before you lose it, because it's going to be really painful when it's gone, and you realize how much you miss it.
One reason this song is such a success is because it has a universal theme, the same reason shakespeare was.
Everyone can relate to how much it hurts to see the one you love loving someone else, and this song explains it so well.
"i've got time while she's got freedom. "
He's got time to sit around and think about how much this is hurting him, while she's free from the pain.
"her best days will be some of my worst. "
It's hard to see the one you love having a good time without you, knowing that you used to have good times with them.
"while i'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping. "
This one should be obvious. How many times have you stayed up late at night, thinking about how you would've changed something you said or did sometime during the day? That's exactly what he's saying, she doesn't want to change anything about her life right now, she's perfectly happy. He, on the other hand, can see so many different things he could've done differently.
"when a heart breaks it don't break even. "
This is one that everyone knows. It's the feeling when you know you should move on, but you can't because you still love him/her too much to let them go. You love them a lot, even after they've already moved on from you and on to other people.

This song's meaning is that a guy and a girl are in love and it doesn't work out with them because the girl broke the guy's heart in some way and when they stop dating she moves on but he is left there with a broken heart. He is saying that a heart doesn't break even meaning that it is not fair how someone can break your heart so simply and he also says that she sleeps at night very easily but he is wide awake thinking about what happened between them and that he can't sleep because of it and he is saying that she was always the best part of him and he doesn't know what he is gonna do without her and that he is speechless because he can't believe that she is ok and doesn't have a broken heart and isn't sad because of what happened between them. Lastly he says that she has his heart meaning that he is in love with her and that she has another guys heart that loves her but she doesn't have neither ones pain because it hurts that she likes someone else for him and that she just left him there alone without anyone to love.

It's mostly about love between girl and boy and another boy/girl. But you know, it can be about frienship and love. For example, you really love a guy, but you know that he don't. But then your best friends comes and takes him away. "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". And you know, that really hurts. So there is not only one way how to translate this song.

Well, I wont really consider myself a love expert for this kind of thing but. Oh well lets just cut the bullcrap and get straight to the point. There will always come a time when you're really gonna think that this feeling is true, pain is inevitable especially in love, there is just so much uncertainty around but suffering will always be an option. This song serves as an inspiration to all lovers out there, sometimes in clicks, sometimes it breaks, time will provide the healing but it shall forever leave a scar in your life. Okay, now not so long ago, well lets just say I've experienced one of the most terrible things that has ever happened in my terrible life. Feeling so infatuated, thinking most probably he was the one, I tried pulling myself together, asking him questions, unending questions, I miss him, and I know that it wont ever be the same for me again, for a while I was afraid of actually loving again but then you actually face friends, maybe not all as supportive as mine, but I was sure that I wasnt alone, and as for my love life, well I'm sure someone's out there, I needed time for myself anyway, it was most probably the right think and for that girl he cheated me with, good luck! I don't know. But I guess it was like a sign that I shouldnt hang with someone as weak as that. This song expresses such passion and well, maybe from other lovers out there that have experienced a break up, well most probably there's a reason for it, maybe he/she is also struggling to move on. Oh well stay strong!. I guess =))

Usually, I can connect my life to many songs, but this one is exactly mirroring how my heart and soul would feel if my current relationship failed. And some days, I believe it will soon enough. Almost 2 years, but inseparable, best friends, lovers, and both already parents. It was perfection in a kiss, a touch, or merely a glance. My soul would be missing apart of it because everything about us has become intertwined. Anyway, there's my meaning.

But I was suddenly felt with a girl I've known during college days and thought it was love, but when she deals me to choose between her and my girl, I realize that what we have is not love at all but fling commitment. But later on when I'm ready to be faithful, my girl discovered my unfaithfulness to her, and broke up with me. After a month I met a girl and became my new girlfriend, but when I saw my ex-girl's status' in a relationship with this guy. I was melted. Grieving and crying. Can't help myself to sleep. Can't eat, can't smile. From this I realize all I've done to her, all the pain I caused her. But i'll fight for her till death. I'll never stop until the day she would tell me to stop, then i'll give up. But as long as she tells me she loves me, I won't.

The guy is in love. Or rather, the speaker is. Completely in love. It doesn't matter if people say he should let go, he can't. He's in love. He's gonna be there for her no matter what, even if it's killing him. Maybe she doesn't notice it, but hopefully she will. Hopefully, she'll know that he'll always be there and that he's better than any of the other guys out there for the principle reason that he won't leave her. The speaker is praying, but since his life is awful without her, it's as if there is no god. No one to help him through life. He's in love and she can't see it.

The song says like " 2 lovers were on a race, the one has to stop because of exhaustion while the other one still runs and don't give attention to his/her loveone that was already left alone". The hardest part of a relationship is about to end, one stills holding on for what they have and the other one is already giving up and does not even bother or worry of what he/she being left behind.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, so that nothing can hurt you, then one person, no different from any other person, wanders into your life. You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for, they do something one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages.

Describes my feelings so much! I know you might think its not love, but we've been together for 4 weeks. And, I took off because within thoes 4 weeks we've argued. And now I miss him. I don't know what to do, cause right now I raced in to a relationship that now I want my old man back. It feels like its my fault for leaving him. [russell, is his name] but fuuuck man, I regret leaving him. And now I know, that I love him still.

There aren't any words to describe this song or any of it's lyrics. Faith and love are things that aren't dealt with lightly. You never get over the hurt that comes from a break up. You feel like crap and you have a hard time sleeping and you just want to die. Your entire life goes backwards over one person. It's an indescribable feeling and it can't be explained with mere words.

This song tells that the man's heart is broken because he and her gf break up and the girl is not affected or hurt because of their break up but the man can't move on and suffering. This means that the part of the broken heart of the man is big and the part of the broken heart of the girl is too small so their hearts are not break even.

The girl I love broke up with me. Without me knowing any reasons and also not knowing that we already broke up. She suddenly cut off her communication with me and I never heard of her and I found out from her friend that we broke up already. And I found out on her fb that she has her new knight in shining armor already. That is why I like this song since then. Looks like she did it again, and I was played twice by her. How such a fool I am on her.

It's an exact replica of the end of my most recent relationship. This song, to me, describes how this female makes this man everything that he is. He is completely in love with her and provides love to her like no one else has. Then, when it comes to light that she's leaving (and that she's a cheater), he's completely devastated and she's completely unphased and moves on to the next fool. When this kind of thing happens, it's questionable whether or not some of one's fallen pieces will actually go back together.

I really love every single words that's in this song. I really feel for the person who wrote the lyrics. Everybody who has been in a relationship and broke up could really relate to it cause someone, in one way or another would find it so hard to forget the other person. Someone would always be left hanging still feeling lost and trying to find a way to move on and get on with life, a life no longer with the person you thought you could spend your life with.

It's tough to move on when someone who means everything leaves you. It hurts even more when that special one is able to move on so quickly while you're still licking your wounds, living off the memories of the past. I guess this song is about that. He love her as much as ever and this is his need to tell her how much he's suffering and how he's unable to get out of this mess. The title 'breakeven' is a very appropriate and meaningful one. When a breakup occurs, regardless of it being mutual or one sided, one is bound to be more heartbroken than the other. This is the story of the one suffering, the one that poured out more love. The fool.

The woman is most likely suffering from boarderline personality disorder (bpd) and possibly narcissistic personality disorder (npd) and he's ending-up suffering for her mental illness. What a bpd/npd woman will do, is take your very soul away from you and give you the feeling that you still owe her something else. "you took the suitcase, i took the blame. " and "she finally met a man who's going to put her first. " are typical feelings men have after exposure to bpd/npd women. A healthy relationship is about sharing, not giving up who you are for someone else. If you do, when they go, it feels like they took you with them -- only if you let them.

To me, breakeven is saying that a person was hurt. Relationship wise. This song shows that yes they are hurt, but no they will not let it kill them. Breakeven shows that even though they are broken up and he took the blame for whatever she did, that he'll get over it. It shows that he is recovering and he won't let it, the break up, ruin his life. That he will go on and keep living his life the way it was meant to be lived.

This song is very heartfelt, and it's about a guy who just split with a girl he loved, but he isn't quite over her yet.
For example, a quote: "what am i supposed to say, when i'm all choked up that you're okay? "
Here he's talking about how the girl has apparently moved on, and he can't bear to see that she's with someone else.
It's basically the anguish that he's going through, and this song is truly beautiful.
I believe that it is very relatable to me, and that is why I am honestly attached to it.

My meaning of breakeven is that it means that one is moving on quickly, like the other person meant nothing. While the other is in pain, having to watch someone that loved just not care anymore as if they meant nothing to them. This song means so much more then that to me. My heart broke uneven. He was free of the pain of me I guess. While it seemed as if he cut me open and I was still bleeding.

She had to choose between two guys. One she was dating, and one she fell for after she was already in a relationship. Thinking it possible to love two guys at once, but unable to escape hurting one, she had to let one go. He wasnt the one she loved more, thus the breakup. He still loves her, but now she does not feel the same. The feelings are no longer mutual and she.

I think the meaning to breakeven is possibly the death of a loved one. Normally people jump to a break up but a few of the lyrics could be put across in another way somewhat deeper. If you truely scratched the surface off you would find a whole world of different meanings, something that is able to relate to those going through so many difficult situations, making it a truely great song.

Pure honesty of one's broken feelings. At one point, a situation will just break you into pieces and you will think that life is unfair but then again, after all that, after the momentum of that very distinct feeling called pain. And then you'll understand a bit more about what you have called life. Pain is good, makes you realize you are alive. Nothing's taken for granted when a person is under pain.

Basically I think that the whole point to the song is that a couple have another heart that they share which is part of them and when they break up the heart will never ever break even. One person will always get more of the heart than the ohter. And they take up a part of your heart because you always love them in your heart. What a waste ohf heat space. Could have been used on someone else.

You lost someone and yet all you can do is look back and wish you were still with them. They move on and never look back yet you can't get your head out of the past and what could have been, you're "falling to pieces" and nothing can make it better no "wise words gonna stop the bleeding" you wish there was a way out of the pain but it never gets better no matter how much time passes.

My meaning to the song break even. He left me because he said he wanted to focus on school, but I'm still desperately in love with him and he has been avoiding me since the breakup. I just want him back in my arms so much, I need him back in my life and hes like gone. And the worst part of it all was that he was my best friend, so not only did I lost my boyfriend I lost my best friend and all I want to do is get him back. I need him, more than my mom or anybody else could understand. I'm not even sure if he could understand. So now at school he avoids me and he never sees me at tae kwon do anymore either. I'm totally miserable. I miss him with my whole heart and honestly I dot know if I can live without him. He is my first and only love. Well, yeah. So in short, I dedicate this song to the fall out between us. Love him foreva.

The song is speaking to our broken hearts. Its a bit like when you're heart broken, your heart never shatters to pieces, it never breaks into powder, or into nothing.

Used to sing along with the song, thinking I understood. It took being dumped for another person to make me realize how much it really feels that way: all I could think for weeks and weeks (and sometimes still now, but it's still relatively fresh) is how completely unfair it is that he got to walk away, be happy with a new love- I was "all choked up that he's okay"- and sometimes I'd wish that I had broke up with him first just to scar him the way he scarred me, so that he would be the one to feel like life is worthless and meaningless, that "alive but barely breathing".

A song that portrays the pain within a guy who lost somebody who he loves. The girl left him. She moved on but he just can't get over her. He notices how she doesn't even care about what they had but that is what all he can think about. When they broke up, it wasn't even. She went on with her life but he's still stuck with the memories of what they shared.

It's pretty self-explanatory. A break up hurts and you'll do anything to stop the pain. Even "pray to a god that you don't believe in. " and what really hurts is knowing that while you're in a lot of pain, she's doing fine. She's moved on. Whoever the girl is that this guy is singing about, she ruined him and he feels loveless. That's the song in a nutshell as far as I'm concerned.

My heart is broken and hasn't yet stopped mourning for this person I thought I have gotten over with. The worst part is, I am already seeing someone else trying to make things normal as they were before I met or kerned to love the previous lover. But amidst all these diversion, my heart just could not move on. It has not breakeven, the fact that I'm crying my heart out each day wishing it was her I am with. It has not breakeven not having a clue if she ever loved me like she said she did or was everything just a game she usually plays.

It's an after-love song; it reflects that the end of their relationship was because she left him for other man, he's trying to stand up and move on when she has already moved on.

I don't think they understand when they leave you. Just because they're okay doesn't mean you are. They are fine they can move on if they want, you can't. You get this feeling in you that you will never shake off it just kills you inside and they don't understand how bad it feels, because they are fine. This feeling just stops you from doing anything.

I think that breakeven is about how someone always ends up with less than another in breakups. The person who is broken up with is always sad about it longer than the other "cos she's moved on while i'm still grieving". The one who breaks up with the other one is able to move on while the other is shocked. I think that this song is about how when you are broken up with you always feel worse than the other person does.

I think it really calls into question the old saying, "it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all". I'd say that it is better to just love once. Because once you lose it, whether by break-up or death, that person takes a little piece of you that, try as you may, you just can't give to someone else. If you truly, truly loved that person, you just can't get it back.

Such a sad life since now its so hard to get off the friend-zone. Since transferring to a new school in 3rd grade it was hard to fit in since everyone knew each other ever since play-group. It was hard for me to find friends and I would usually end up being alone but then it was her who confronted me and we became best friends. We would have fights cuz of little things and wouldnt talk to each other for like a week and we would just be friends again sooner or later. Problem is she doesn't know I liked her ever since I met her. And now I'm 3rd year high school she likes someone else and I still talk to her but I guess the friendship wore off now since now they have outings together with their best friends and I'm left alone. Now the only one, my bestfriend ignores me. When I try to talk to her it just seems to annoy her and so I tried to get over her but then it just keeps on coming back.

I'm lucky tho it seems to be complicated another person has me, tho it cannot be us even if we have mutual feeling even today I'm happy with her the best part of me will always be her. I love this song.

I had heard this song before but did not realise the meaning of it until my boyfriend of six and a half years told me he did not want to be with me anymore he also said he did not want another girlfriend or anyone else didn't want to answer to anyone and he still loved me and cared about me! The lyrics that stand out to me are prayin to a god that I don't believe in, I actually have and keep prayin that it all falls apart for him and his new girlfriend at first I prayed that he would come back! When I sing the song I change a few words like I'm finally met a man that's gonna put me first and the best part of me wasnt you! Its weird when something happens like this to you look for a different meaning in things like this song before it was just a good song then you hear it again and it absolutley right at what is going on in your life. One of the writers of the song must of been through this to know all this coz its exactly right x

I think this song is about a man who is addicted to drugs and is consumed by his addiction and his girlfriend that he truly does love left him because she was tired of being second to his drugs. When he says he prays to a god he doesn't believe in I thing he's talking about his addiction and he has time with his broken heart and his drug while she has freedom.

I am only 12 but I loved him so dang much and we would always tell each other how much we loved each other and held hands and everything, it was the perfect fairy tale. But then he lied to me about something and I freaked out and things were never the same after that. He went out with one of my friends and I love him more than anyone could ever imagine. He seems to shun me and get along with his life and he is perfectly happy with his girl and I just stand there crying, feeling my heart break and I can't breath at all. He laughs: I cry, he smiles: I die even more, he holds her hand: my hand burns where he used to hold mine. I'm completely falling apart and he's just fine and dandy. I love him, but it's just a one way thing :( I love you chapel.

You don't have to hold on to a relationship when youre not sure of it. I had a boyfriend for 4 years, we are happy with each others company. We go out on a date and we hang together with his and my friends. Eventhough there are so many trials came into our relationship, we survive but one day he confess me about the other girl that he loves too. It hurts. He don't want me to go on but he didn't want also the other girl to go on. So I made a decision for the three of us, a decision that will change everything to me. I gave up the man that I love for so long. A man that I say to be mine forever. Eventhough it hurts I still have to go on and continue my life without him:(

When I listen to this song it reminds me that when we get our hearts broken we should not fall to pieces even when though we feel like the best part of us was him/her, but things in our lives do happen for a reason and for me I know deep in my heart that gods under control and all we need to do is lean on him for he knows what's best for us. I've read every post on this song and my heart goes out to you all because love does hurt but love never fails! So ladies and gentleman keep your heads held up high. :)

I gave my heart to my ex and I never got it back. We broke up a little over a year ago and I've been falling to pieces ever since. He'd tell me that he didn't need anything else in the world because I was his everything. A month ago his best friend told me that my ex was going to ask me to our last homecomin. The day he was going to ask me I see him ask another girl in front of the school. I went to my car after and just went home because I couldn't handle what happened. We still talk and now he tells me the great times he has at partys that he goes to while I'm at home still regretting what happened before. We didn't break even.

I went back together with my ex after he said he still loves me and that he didn't dump me. According to him it was "taking a break". After we got together, he really showered me with love and concern. But he's too possessive and always try to restrict me from going out w other friends or gatherings when there are guys around. We argued, we fight. I always thought after each fight, when we understand each other more, we will stop arguing less often. Yet it just gets worse. The final straw came when I had to go germany for exchange and I really couldn't bear to leave him but I thought we would be able to survive 4 months being apart. It has only been just 1+ month and we broke up. The reason being I broke up with him but I regretted but he didn't want me back. All the promises he made, all gone. It has only been a day and I'm still crying. When a relationship is over, one party will suffer more than the other. Here I am suffering overseas while he's having his fun. It doesn't breakeven.

Me and my ex were together for almost 2 years, its not long I know, but he was my first love and we got together when I was 14 and he was 19. We had our ups and downs like all relationships do, but then one day he decided he simply didn't love me anymore. I know he does, you can't go from being engaged and madly in love with someone who means the "world" to you, to cutting you completely out of their life. Afew days later he told me (rubbed it in) that he had contacted his first girlfriend, and he now loves her after 3 hours talking over the internet. I cried for about 2 weeks, no wise words can stop the bleeding, but it does eventually stop. And you see everything that's really important, and you see your ex walking down the street with his feet dragging along the floor and a face like thunder, you think, what did I see in him? It hurts, and youll never stop thinking them, wondering what could have been, but the pain fades, youd be surprised how fast it goes and how much better you can do. Love yourself.

I'm only 14 and I'm already in love but my crush and I have never talked face to face. At first I almost had him untill my friend came a swept him away. I loved him for a year and I waited(i got time.) while he's having fun with his new girlfriend(and he got freedom) our hearts broke but mine's broke into a million pieces (when a heart breaks no it don't break even).

I am a high school student. I was with my boyfriend for over 15 months. We broke up a little over a month ago and he already has a girlfriend. My friends tell me things about her 'She has had an abortion. ' 'She was trying to get with me too. ' 'She was trying to show me her b***s one day. ' Everyone tells me that he broke up with me because I didn't move 'fast' enough but he told me that he loves me and that he made a mistake when he broke up with me and that was not the reason. He never really gave me a good reason and I am stuck with no closure.

I'm not really broken hearted. But I love this song. I could relate to it. I have been admiring this guy who happens to be the brother of my closest friend. But then. I keep on hiding this feeling. I don't like commitment. Though I have been dreaming myself to be with him. I have seen him only twice and we don't actually talk to each other. But I like him so much.
I'm contented by just looking at his picture on my phone which I take from his fb account.

Recently, my girlfriend and I broke up. I tried to get her back but she insisted that she doesn't love my anymore. I fall into pieces that time but when I'm looking at her eyes I can still feel the connection between us.
Now, I'm still waiting for her to come back, waiting for the she realize that I'm the best man for her.
Really can't see myself being with girl other than her. I really love her, I still do.

I'm in love with this guy and I've been seeing him quietly for almost 4 years, now I must let him go as he is promised to another woman, my heart is breaking as it hurts so much, I gave him my heart and my soul and he doesn't have the guts to stay with me. He tells me that he is in love with me so much and it will hurt so bad not to have me anymore but he needs to do the right thing for her and his family.
I don't get it, will I ever get it, please tell me that the pain will stop!

I'm 13, young I know. But I'm in love. My first love infact, when I was 10 I got together with a boy. It was just a small relationship that meant nothing to me because I was so young, but when I hit the age of 11 we'd been together for a year. And then I fell in love with him. He was everything to me then one day he just broke up with me after 30 months. And now 2 months later, I see him most days at school and I see him so happy which makes me feel even worse, but what am I suppose to do? These lyrics fit with how I feel, I just want my boy back. I want my lover back.

When I first heard this song I was happily engaged to the love of my life. I liked the song alot but never thought I could relate. But then she left me. I was broken completley down with everythign exposed. This was about a week ago and I'm still reeling. And she is just moving on to the next guy. Listening to this song does cause a lot of pain, but at the same time it helps cuz you got something to relate to. As it seems all people who posted do.

I'm with you lazromero. Same story almost to a T! I was best friends with him for 10 years and I mean best friends. I was homeless for most of that time and he would sneak me into his basement, wrap his arms around me and sleep in his bed almost every nite without a hint of more. When I was 23 we were out to clubs and bars alot, one drunken nite he decides we should change it, so we did. That nite I got pregnant. Can you imagine? When I told him he threw money in my face and told me to take care of it. That's not something I could live with. I carried to 18 weeks and miscarried, and the whole time he wouldnt talk to me. Afterwards he finally poured his heart out to me that he was scared. Stupid me believed him. I stayed with him for 5 years till I found out he had cheated on me right under my nose numerous times with numerous girls. When I found out I went out afetr work that nite, my friend introduced me to her friend, weve been together ever since. At first this boy denied it up and down. Isn't the internet A lovely invention? I figured out his psw for myspace with a keylogger, copied all the messages back and forth about the special evenings he had with these girls and sent them to him. I hear all the time that he asks if I'm ok and happy. Some men will never get it. I put him first b4 anything and everyone in my life at the time and that's what I got>>>

On the contrary, I happen to like the part "praying to a god that i don't believe in". People want to believe in god, but it can be easy to take life so literally and find it hard to find god real. (really not trying to start a religious debate, I am a catholic). But those who never pray and don't think it will help, can find themselves pray when things are absolutely at there worse just in their hopes that it just might help. Idk, but if you have ever felt that way, and caught yourself doing it you realize what shabbles your really in.

Having been married to a man that was unfaithful and whom I divorced but still loved g-are-e-a-t-l-y. This song definately speaks to the inequality of a broken heart/broken relationship. It says everything my own heart could not say but certainly felt. This is a tremendous song! Life never stays the same. People change, things change. Our world may end as we knew it at that moment. But the sun always shines again!

It's been 9yrs last month since I saw her last, as she boarded the plane with the wind and her hair in her face she turns and smiles back at the crowded departure lounge, if only her eyes met mine she'd see, this high school sweetheart would never get over this departure.
I could'nt handle the distance, it's been a while but I can say she's the 'best I ever had', that's another song.
She's found love now in the arms of another woman, how's that! I guess when you move on, you keep moving till you find that place again or something better!
You take as much as you give, sometimes and sometimes you don't have enough time and before you know she's gone when you still had so much more. You end up holding it all back and you find you never really go all the way with anything else - I live with these songs everyday and I love it.

My meaning of this song. I think its difficult to express how any one person can feel during a tragic breakup but this song does a terrific job. I can relate to this in so many ways but not in a boyfriend relationship kind of way. It reminds me more of when my Grandmother and Grandfather passed away because it felt like when they died they took my heart and happiness for a while. It was hard for me to cope with and this song reminds me of those times.

This is a truly amazing song. It said every single bit of what I felt when my gf left! It expresses every single emotion one goes through. Its been a year and a half now. But it still feels fresh at times.
Lol, irony is, I got to know this song from the girls facebook post, who I am head over heals in love with and obviously she doesn't have the least of similar feelings. Ah. Love!
I think it takes more than bravery to love someone!

I love how this song exactly describes my feelings. I was with this girl for 4 years, I love her so much(and still do), and she was so happy with me too. One and a half month ago a childhood friend of mine confessed to her that he likes her, and suddenly she told me that she has no feelings for me anymore. She said all these 4 years it was real love, but now that is all gone. I still couldn't believe what happened. And I still love her. I see her in my dreams everyday. I just hope one day we will be together again.

Simple, have you loved someone so much that you would give your all just to make them happy, and when you breakup, that's a major shock to your world, you see them with someone else as if you never existed while your though hurt, still love them. This song means that relationships do break and someone always carries more of the pain than the other 'when a heart breaks it don't breakeven\'.

This song means the world to me. Change the "she's" to he's and it describes my first true love and the heartbreak that overtook me when I realized that he was okay and I was the one trying to catch my breath. The worst feeling in the world is when the person you love with your whole heart and soul, chooses someone else over you. Our love did not break even, and that's why I love this song.

This song makes me sad every time I hear it. When I first heard this song it was just another song until about a month ago when my girlfriend broke up with me. She meant everything to me and I didn't see it coming. Now its one of my favorite songs because it relates to me. My favorite line is "what am i gonna do when the best part of me was always you" because its exactly how I feel.

I think this song is about a guy being in love with a girl, but she wasn't first in his life, so she found someone who would put her first. Now the guy is still in love while she has moved on. When he says a that a heart don't break even, I think he means it's shattered. For example if you literally break a bone it can be a clean break which heals easily, but a shattered bone may never heal.
This song reminds me of my first love, he was the first boy I ever kissed when I was 12 and he was 14, then we dated when I was 16 and he was 18 and he was the first guy I ever had s** with. Then when I was 26 and he was 28 we briefly got back together. After more than 10 years of not seeing him, I bumped into him last month and now I'm 37 and he's 39 (and a granpa!) and all those feelings came back. He broke my heart, and it did not break even!. Even though I am happily married and have 4 beautiful kids my heart never did completely heal.

I heard this song yesterday, someone recommended it to me on the net. Its really gud. And, ya it means a lot of different things to different people. In my case, it reminds me of the girl I was (probably still am) in love with. Haven't seen her for almost 3 years, and she never ever knew how I felt about her, I just cudn't tell her. I've tried, but can't even luk at any girl the same way. So, yeah. This one's another added to my list of songs to listen when I'm feeling depressed about the whole thing.

My boyfriend made me so many promises and though we've been through our fair share of quarrels, I still love him to death. However, his feelings for me changed overnight, and as soon as some girl he's barely known comes up to him and starts flirting, he's gotten over me. Told me he didn't love me anymore. Its been 2 weeks since we broke up, and he's about to get together with her soon. He told me to move on. How can I do that when I love him so dearly? It hurts to know that he doesn't care about me anymore and wants to pursue the other girl. Now I'm left with a broken heart and there isn't anything anyone can do about it.
