Breakeven
The Script(더 스크립트) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayin' 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 sleeping
'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 and 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
'Cause 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 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 ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause 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
'Cause you left me with no love and 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
'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 breakeven no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK
(Oh glad your okay now)
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 yeah
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh it don't breakeven no




Oh it don't breakeven no
Oh it don't breakeven no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Script's Break Even describe a heartbreaking situation where the singer is still reeling from a recent break-up while his ex-partner has moved on to a new relationship. The opening lines "I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing, just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in" suggest that the singer is struggling to cope with the emotional pain of the break-up despite being physically alive. He feels helpless and is turning to a higher power for comfort in his distress.


The next set of lines "cause I got time while she's got freedom, cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even" emphasizes the disparity in how the two parties are dealing with the separation. The singer has all the time in the world to dwell on his heartbreak while his ex-partner is free to move on and live her life. The line "when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven" highlights the one-sided nature of the situation and how painful it can be when one person is still in love while the other has moved on.


The chorus goes on to describe how difficult it is for the singer to come to terms with the end of his relationship. He wonders what he is supposed to do and say when the best part of him was always with his ex-partner. The lines "I'm falling to pieces, yeah, I'm falling to pieces" convey the struggles of a man who is struggling to hold onto the last remnants of his love while he is "still grieving" for what he has lost.

@@tafzilemani5794 Poem: (Breaking free form being deceived)
Hollywood graveyard = empty graves and tombs.
Characters still on stage playing rolls.
Public crying after their fake deaths are announced.
Advanced A.I fooling mankind day and night.
We all admire their lives – don`t we?
Is it hard to believe that all of it is nothing more then a digital fakery?
The bloodline keeping their wealth and power among themselves.
Yet we dare to believe -
- the hollywood stars to be real.
