Hope has 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 suprised just how well I've 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 lying 'round cryin' at night
there's no need to worry, I'm really alright
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
