LYRICS
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 breakeven... even... no

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
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces

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 breakeven even... no

What am I gonna 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
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
(Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I'm try'na make sense of what little remains ooh
Cos you left me with no love and no love to my name.

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

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up that you're ok
(Oh glad your okay now)
I'm falling to pieces yeah
(Oh I'm glad your okay)
I'm falling to pieces yeah
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
(Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

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

@011502396 no :/

Hey, if that's what you want to do that's fine, I've been signing at some extent for six years now and in college for interpreting 3 years will be graduating in September. I am also ambidextrous but with ASL, when interpreting, it is considered incorrect to sign with both hands. If that's what you want to do that's fine, I was just letting you know.

[Hustler263]

@shdubbleorti Just my 2 cents worth on this, there are people such as myself that are naturally ambidextrous and the use of both hands is to be expected and as there are some signs that sometimes favor those being right handed, I have only been learning ASL, SEE and PSE for a few months and I do not find that someone using both hands confuses me at all and should confuse those that are much more adept and knowledgeable with ASL less confused but still see these types of comments.

Yea, ASL is generally what the song means, not the literal words. Keep learning and good job.

[crabclaw85]

You're so pretty and your vids are great.

Keep it up! :D

[nicknrm17]

Good song...but...

What do the words mean? That's how you sign ASL.

Also it is unnecessary and sometimes even annoying to a deaf person when you sign the sign for "MUSIC" when the music is playing but no words are being said. It is preferred if you let your generally body movement show the movement of the song. Sway with it.

Good luck!

do you know how to gloss this?? :)

[shdubbleorti]

Just some advice. Pick a dominant hand to sign with. As of now you're signing both right and left handed and it makes it really confusing, also you sign word for word. but nice start I saw on another video that you're taking online classes. Those are good for a start but aren't extremity helpful. You'll get there though. =)

Hey, if you are looking for a correction I would try not being so literal in the chorus. Maybe not the actual sign for break. Unless you are actually trying to say that you're heart is breaking. You're literal heart.
