It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing
Lyrics by: Shania Twain and R.J. Lange
Album: Shania Twain - Up
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'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 its 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
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
A/N: Ever made a decision you know you have to, that you feel in your heart is right, and yet it still feels like your soul has been ripped to shreds? This song captures that feeling beautifully, and was a perfect fit for what Elizabeth was feeling as she tried to put her life back together in St. Louis.
