The Script "Breakeven"

[handy]

One of my more favorite non-Christian pop songs out there is the bluesy, "Breakeven" by The Script. What can I say...it's a sad, break up song...everyone needs a sad break up song sooner or later, right?

Anyway, for those who might not know the song, the lyrics (in part) go:

I'm still 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 even

So...yesterday, Viola and I were traveling along, listening to the radio and this song comes on.

Viola was in a somewhat sour mood, due to some last minute grief a kid at her (thankfully) old school gave her, so instead of singing along like she usually does...she added commentary.

So, now I'm driving along, listening to this:

The Script: I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Viola: Too bad!
The Script: Just praying to a God that I don't believe in
Viola: Well, there's your problem!
The Script: 'Cause I got time while she got freedom
Viola: Want freedom, start believing in God.
The Script: 'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even
Viola: Suck it up and deal with it or quit yer whining!

My fiance said that same thing when we were in the car the other day. He was like, whoa, did he just say praying to a God that I don't believe in?? I never really noticed that's what was said in the song until a few days ago. Strange!
