“It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing” is a song co-written by Shania Twain. The song was released as the eighth and final single from Twain’s album, Up!.
Lyrically, the song discusses how Shania is so much pain emotionally because she misses every minute that she’s not with the guy she’s in love with.
[Intro]
Oh, no, no, no
[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 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
[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
