it only hurts when i breathe

Lyrics

well guess who i saw today, standing outside my favorite cafe, sipping his morning coffee, on my street. i said, "how are you?, i'm just fine. i think that i recognize that tie.", he said, "sorry i never got to say good-", "by the way, i'm doing much much better. i was just a little under the weather, but pay no mind to me.", 'cause you know it only hurts when i breathe. when i make believe, that maybe he truly needs me. it only hurts here and there. why doesn't he care?, doesn't he ever miss me?, it only hurts me when i breathe. so you finally quit smoking these days, and i like your hair real short that way. i never could get it out of your face. so how was paris, when did you go?, tell your parents i said, "hello". tell them my life is going just as-, i planned a trip. i'm going somewhere exotic. i'll show you the pictures, tell you all about it, the next time we meet. 'cause you know it only hurts when i breathe. when i make believe, that maybe he truly needs me. it only hurts here and there. why doesn't he care?, doesn't he ever miss me?, it only hurts me when i breathe. "so whatcha doing tomorrow night?, let's have a drink. i won't bite.", he said, "sure let me just run it by.my wife.", 'cause you know it only hurts when i breathe. when i make believe, that maybe he truly needs me. it only hurts here and there. why doesn't he care?, doesn't he ever miss me?, it only hurts me when i breathe.
