The Script- Breakeven

"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

Her best days were 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 not 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 words gonna stop the bleeding 
'Cause she's moved on while I"m still grieving 
And when a heart breaks no it don't break even...even...no"

This is one of my favorite songs. It's something you can instantly relate to. Although it is somewhat sad, it is completely true. And I am all for the truth. Breaking up is never easy. Well, it can be easy when you're the one breaking up with someone else. Even if you haven't been dating someone for that long...being broken up with doesn't feel to good. No matter how you look at it, someone is basically saying they don't like who you are as a person. And that can sometimes be hard to swallow.

Being in love and breaking up can be one of the worst feelings you will ever go through. You have put all your feelings and time and emotions and trust in that person and in that relationship. Even if you see the break up coming someone is going to be more hurt than another. Someone will be more devastated than the other. It's never an even break.

Maybe throughout the relationship, it was more one-sided and that person went through more hurt than they let on, but as soon as the break up happens, the other person is now going through a world of hurt. It's rare when other individuals are hurting at the exact same time...in the exact same way...for the exact same reasons. So it's not surprising for one person to hurt more than the other when they break up.

These lyrics are so true about a break up it's scary. When I was feeling this way and heard this songs, it was like I had an epiphany. Like I wasn't the only one who felt that way. And when I tried to describe how I was feelings, all I had to do was say these lyrics. "Just praying to a God that I don't believe in"... I never really prayed like I should while I was in a relationship.But as soon as that relationship ended, I couldn't pray enough to anyone who would listen...Just to have a better day...To go a day without crying....To go a day without blaming myself for everything .

"They say bad things happen for a reason, but no words gonna stop the bleeding"...No matter what anyone says to make you feel better after a break up, nothing really helps. No words can cure a broken heart. With me, time really healed all wounds! My mom once told me to give it 6 months and I would feel like a different person. And of course...she was right! But at the time I didn't believe her. At the time I didn't think anything would make me feel better. I thought I would always feel that way. But clearly that wasn't the case =]

It's kind of scary how much you can relate to music. It's definitely something amazing! It can be a mood lifter and a game changer. A way to make you feel like you're not the only one out there.

Something that can put a smile on your face when nothing else can...
