It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing - Eric Leamen

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
