"Breakeven"

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 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 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 break even, 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 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
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even)

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, ooh
'Cause you left me with no love and honour 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 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 OK?
(Oh glad you're okay now)
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
(Oh I'm falling, falling)
I'm falling to pieces,
(One still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even)

Oh, it don't

    “Why are you still crying? I said I was --” Kayla was shocked when she found herself wrapped in Kyle’s arms. She doesn’t mind how sweaty and smelly he is because honestly, He isn’t even smelly at all. Kyle hugs her tighter to the point of suffocation while mumbling “I’m sorry” over and over, “your neck isn’t even that long and your hair is pretty cool too, I’m sorry,” he rambles on and Kayla’s mother smiles gently. To be honest, Kayla hates seeing people cry, especially when it’s her best friend Kyle.…

    Firstly, I am deeply saddened that we have not been able to talk, and attempt to have some dialogue with the hope of closure and peace for both of us. I understand why this would be difficult for you given how our relationship ended, and I take responsibility for this. I acted out of hurt, anger, and I dug my feet in without also considering the impact on you. Instead of applying compassion and understanding towards you, I acted with only my interests at stake, and for this I am deeply sorry.…

    I glance at it and see my wife’s picture on the screen. She never calls me at this time, so I immediately answer. I hear two different cries on the other side of the line. “I need you to take a deep breath and tell me what’s going on. Are you guys okay?” My heart sank to the pit of my stomach. “Maddy’s toe is falling off! I need you to meet me at the emergency room! We’re on our way there now!” my wife sobbed. “I need you to calm down. Is she okay? I’ll meet you guys there.” I responded. I hung up the phone. My girls needed me. My little girl is in pain and all I can hear was her crying out for me in the background. I grabbed my keys and ran out the door. I called another manager to come in on my way to the hospital, but I couldn’t wait for them to get there. I had to get to the hospital. The emotions were all over the place, but I had to stay positive for my girls. “Everything will be okay”, I whispered to myself as I entered the…
