| I walk the streets you cross my way
|
| I try to hide and turn my face away
|
| You ask me how I feel
|
| A love so real has just passed away
|
| I lost it all before the end of the day
|
| But don’t worry
|
| Here’s what you can’t see
|
| Everything’s alright with me
|
| Everything’s right with me
|
| It only hurts when I breathe
|
| Oh, love can be so cruel
|
| Gives hope and then destroys your dreams
|
| It only hurts when I breathe
|
| Now let me live my life
|
| I’ve got to get you out of me
|
| So if you cut out wounded flesh
|
| Just be aware that there’s nothing left
|
| Avoiding blood poisoning
|
| I close my eyes and still I see
|
| The happiness surrounding you and me
|
| And this illusion it just makes sure that
|
| Everything’s alright with me
|
| Everything’s ok with me
|
| Everything’s so fine you see
|
| Yes everything’s right with me
|
| It only hurts when I breathe
|
| Oh, love can be so cruel
|
| Gives hope and then destroys your dreams
|
| It only hurts when I breathe
|
| Now let me live my life
|
| Because
|
| (It only hurts when I breathe)
|
| I can walk I can run
|
| I can do my thing
|
| (It only hurts when I breathe)
|
| I can eat, I can sleep
|
| I can dance and sing
|
| (Oh uouh)
|
| You see I’m strong
|
| Don’t get me wrong
|
| No single tear
|
| Since you’ve been gone
|
| I can breathe
|
| It only hurts when I breathe
|
| Oh, love can be so cruel
|
| Gives hope and then destroys your dreams
|
| It only hurts when I breathe
|
| Now let me live my life
|
| I’ve got to get you out of me
|
| It only hurts when I breathe
|
| Now let me live my life
|
| I’ve got to face reality |
