[Verse 1]
Hope life's been good to you
Since you've been gone
I'm doing 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
[Verse 2]
Don't think I'm lying 'round crying at night
There's no need to worry, I'm really all right
I've never looked back—as a matter of fact
[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
[Bridge]
It only hurts when I breathe
Mmm, no, I've never looked back
As a matter of fact
[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
[Outro]
Hurts when I'm breathing
Breaks when it's beating
Die when I'm dreaming
It only hurts when I breathe
