about
This is a parody of The Script's "Breakeven" that I wrote based on Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. IT CONTAINS MASSIVE SPOILERS! Consider yourself warned.
lyrics
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just can't convince you to stop believing
Don't trust your memories, Peeta, listen
But when a heart breaks, it just don't break even
Our best days are now some of your worst
You're no longer the boy who always put me first
I'm wide awake trying to forget your screaming
'Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even
What am I gonna do, 'cause the best part of us was always you
And what am I supposed to say when you're still here but you're not okay
And I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
You're convinced that I'm someone I'm not
It's the Capitol's fault and I'll make them pay for what they've done
Is Peeta the price for Panem's freedom?
Because this heartbreak, no, it won't break even
What am I gonna do, 'cause the best part of us was always you
And what am I supposed to say when you're still here but you're not okay
And I'm falling to pieces
'Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't breakeven
Snow took your heart and my heart and holds all the blame
All he's left us is lies, hate, and pain
Now you're trying to make sense of what memories remain
'Cause they left me with no love, and they stole your love away
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
This venom has changed you, but I'm still waiting
You'll come back to me, I just have believe it
But it's hard, 'cause a heartbreak don't break even
What am I gonna do, 'cause the best part of us was always you
And what am I supposed to say when you're still here but not okay
And I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
'Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even
