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

Outro

Oh, it don't break even, no  
Oh, it don't break even, no  
Oh, it don't break even, no
