"Breakeven" is a song originally performed by the Irish band The Script and covered by Maddi Jane. The song tells the story of a person who is struggling to cope with a broken heart. The protagonist is still alive but feels like they are barely breathing, just going through the motions of life. They express their despair, feeling like they are praying to a God they don't believe in. The protagonist's ex-partner has moved on and found happiness with someone else, while they are still grieving and unable to let go. The heartbreak has left them feeling shattered and in pieces. They question what they are supposed to do and say when they are filled with pain, while their ex seems unaffected. They struggle to make sense of the situation, feeling abandoned and left without any love or hope. The chorus emphasizes that a broken heart doesn't heal equally for both parties involved; it doesn't "break even." The protagonist's ex-partner has found freedom and a new love, while they are left picking up the pieces and trying to survive. In the bridge, the protagonist acknowledges that their ex has taken everything good from their relationship and left them with nothing but pain and emptiness. Overall, "Breakeven" explores the feelings of heartbreak, the imbalance of emotions after a breakup, and the difficulty of moving on when the pain is still strong.
