I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing [Eb] Just [Bb] praying to a God that I don't believe [Ebm] in
[Gm] Cause I got [Bb] time while she got freedom [Ebm]
[Bb] Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break even
The [Gm] [Bb] best days of some of my world [Eb] She [Gm] finally [Bb] met a man that's gonna put [Ebm] her first
[Gm] While I'm wide [Bb] awake, she's no trouble [Eb] sleeping Cause when a [Bb] heart breaks, no it don't break even
What am I supposed to do when the best part [Gm] of me is always [Bb] 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
They [Bb]
say bad things happen for a reason [Eb] But
[Gm] no wild [Bb] words don't stop the bleeding
[Ebm] Cause
[Gm] she's moved [Bb] on while I'm still grieving [Eb]
But [Bb] when a heart breaks, no it don't break even
Oh lord, what am I [Gm] to do when the best part of me is always [Bb] you?
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're [Eb] okay?
[Bb] I'm falling to [Gm] pieces,
[Eb] yeah [Bb] I'm falling to [Gm] pieces
I'm [Eb] falling to pieces, yeah [Bb] I'm falling to pieces

You took his [Eb] suitcase, I took the Now I'm [Gm] trying to make [Am] sense of what we don't [Bb] remain
[Eb] Oh, cause you left me with no love, I'll screw my [Gm] name
I'm still [Bb] alive but I'm barely breathing Just praying 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
Oh, the best part of me is 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 pieces
[Gm]
[Eb] [Bb] I'm falling to pieces, [Gm]

Oh, it don't break even, no
