Song Lyrics

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

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 alright
I've never looked back, as a matter of fact

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

It only hurts when I breathe

Mmm, no, I've never looked back
As a matter of fact

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

(It only hurts) hurts when I'm breathing
(Heart only breaks) Breaks when it's beating
(Dreams only die) Die when I'm dreaming
It only hurts when I breathe

Robert John Lange, Shania Twain
