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 brea-----------the
Mmm,  no I've never  looked back, as a matter  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
 Hurts  when I'm breathing
 Breaks  when it's beating
 Die  when I'm dreaming
It  only hurts  when I breathe
