[Bb] Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break
even [Ebm] The [Gm]
[Bb] best days have been some of my worst
[Eb]
[Gm] She [Bb] finally met a man that's gonna [Eb] put her first
[Gm] While [Bb] I'm wide awake, she's no trouble [Cm] sleeping
[Bb]
Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break even, even
What am I supposed to do when the [Gm] best part of me was [Bb] always you?
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're okay?
I'm falling to [Gm] pieces, [Eb] yeah [Bb] I'm falling to [Gm] pieces

Oh, cause you left me with no love and no love to my name
[Gm] I'm [Bb] still alive but I'm barely breathing
