Reece Mastin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 were some of my worst
She finally met a man who's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleepin'
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 but 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 man's gonna stop the bleedin'
'Cause she moves on while I'm still grievin'
And 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 but you're okay?
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah.
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah.
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah.
I'm fallin' to pieces, oh.
You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took the suitcase, I took the blame
I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh
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 heartbreaks 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 and you're okay?
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 but you're okay?
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah
I'm fallin' to pieces, yeah
I'm fallin' to pieces!
Heart breaks no it don't break even.
The lyrics to “Breakeven” by Reece Mastin describe the feeling of being heartbroken after a relationship ends. The singer is still alive but barely breathing, showing that even though they are physically alive, they are emotionally exhausted. As the song progresses, we learn that the singer’s ex-partner has moved on and found someone new, while they are still trying to come to terms with the breakup. The line “When a heart breaks no it don't break even” represents the idea that a breakup can hit one person harder than the other, and one partner can move on while the other is left to deal with the pain.
The second verse highlights the contrast between the singer’s feelings and their ex-partner’s. While the singer is struggling to sleep and coming to terms with the breakup, their ex-partner is in a different place emotionally, which adds to the singer's pain. The singer also questions what to do with their life now that their relationship is over when the best part of them was always their ex-partner. The lyrics "I'm fallin' to pieces" are repeated throughout the song and show how the singer is struggling to cope with the pain of the breakup.
