Sadcore Sundays: “Breakeven” by The Script

Posted by strange on October 5, 2014

“I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don’t believe in”

– Sadcore Sunday music pick by Liz Camposthescript Lyrics: 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 evenHer 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… noWhat 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 piecesThey 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)

Email between Shannen Roberts and Dr. Chad Cox M.D. (Yes, my doctor’s last name is Cox…)

Hi Dr. Cox ! 

 Educate us 2014 teenagers/young adults please and thank you :) In general – tell me about the truths and dispel the myths behind the “happy pill.”
