Breakeven

Posted on January 24, 2010October 27, 2015 By Doriano No Comments on Breakeven

I’m such a big fan of The Script, an Irish band that I first experienced thanks to the movie “P.S. I Love You”and their wonderful “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved”  Here’s another touching song called “Breakeven” where lead singer Danny O’Donoghue pours out his emotions in a beautiful music video. I love the scene where we see the audience from his point of view and within the blinding spotlights he still sees his ex-girlfriend and remembers a better time.

What I like best about The Script is the cleverness of their lyrics that go so well with the catchy melodies and sweet harmonies. Here’s a sample:

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
‘Coz she’s moved on while I’m still grieving

BREAKEVEN

I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing,
Just prayed to a god that I don’t believe in,
‘Coz I got time while she got freedom,
‘Coz 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,
‘Coz 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
What am I supposed to say when I’m all choked up and you’re ok
I’m falling to pieces
I’m falling to pieces
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
‘Coz she’s moved on while I’m still grieving
And when a heart breaks
no it don’t break even, even no.
What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you
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,
(Cuz when a heart breaks
no it don’t break even)
You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain,
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I’m try and make sense of what little remains, oh.
‘Coz you left me with no love, with 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,
‘Coz I got time while she got freedom,
‘Coz 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
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,
(Cuz when a heart breaks
no it don’t break even)
Oh, it don’t break even, no
Oh, it don’t break even, no
Oh, It don’t break even, no
