It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing

Written by:  Shania Twain / R. J. Lange

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 of fact

[Repeat Chorus]

Hurts when I'm breathing

Breaks when it's beating

Die when I'm dreaming

It only hurts when I breathe
