Lyrics Shania Twain – It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing

Hope life’s been good to you
since you’ve been gone
I’m doin’ fine now—I’ve finally moved on
It’s not so bad—I’m not that sad

I’m not surprised just how well I survived
I’m over the worst, and I feel so alive
I can’t complain—I’m free again

Chorus:
And it only hurts when I’m breathing
My heart only breaks when it’s beating
My dreams only die when I’m dreaming
So, I hold my breath—to forget

Don’t think I’m lyin’ ’round cryin’ at night
There’s no need to worry, I’m really all right
I’ve never looked back—as a matter of fact

Repeat Chorus

It only hurts when I breathe

Mmm, no, I’ve never looked back—
as a matter fact

Repeat Chorus

Hurts when I’m breathing
Breaks when it’s beating
Die when I’m dreaming
It only hurts when I breathe
