[Intro]
C G D Em x4
[Verse]
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 break even, even, no
[Chorus]
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, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
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 break even, even, no
[Chorus]
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, yeah
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 (Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)
[Instrumental]
Em D G Am7 x2
[Bridge]
Oh, you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh
Cos you left me with no love and no love to my name
[Verse]
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!
[Chorus]
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
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah (Oh, I'm falling, I'm falling... yeah)
I'm falling to pieces (One still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces (Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)
[Instrumental]
C G D Em x2
[Outro]
Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, it don't break even, no
[Coda]
