IT ONLY HURTS WHEN I'M BREATHING
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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAH!
I thought i might begin
by fillin' you in -
in case you already didn't know
i'll never forget
how you got up and left
in fact it was downright pretty low
there ain't no way i wanna,
you know i ain't gonna
take you back, so don't even try
you can beg, you can plead -
you can sweat, you can bleed
too bad i could care if you cry
That's it! (that's all!)
we had fun (we had a ball!)
it was good while it lasted -
but now i'm past it
(it was sure!) it was sweet!
sure you swept me off my feet
i miss you now and then,
but would i do it all again - Nah -
Chorus:
You won't find me
naked and cold
just a sittin' on a doctor's table
waitin' to be told justa why
i'm no longer able
to feel my heart beatin' -
give me a good reason why!
i kinda went numb
just around about the time
you told me you were moving on,
and you said that you were gonna phone me
it's been so long, and there ain't nothin' wrong with the line
It's too late to regret it,
but you're the one who said it
we're better off being apart
i hate to be a downer,
but don't bother comin' 'round here
'cause i won't have a change of heart
That's it! (that's all!)
we had fun (we had a ball!)
it was good while it lasted -
but now i'm past it
(it was sure!) it was sweet!
sure you swept me off my feet
i miss you now and then,
but would i do it all again - Nah -
( Repeat Chorus)
Nah...
Well I hope you learned a lesson,
'cause you'll never be messin'
with my head again the way that you did
it was never gonna work,
you were too much of a jerk
i'm finally fed up with it
That's it! (that's all!)
we had fun (we had a ball!)
it was good while it lasted -
but now i'm past it
(it was sure!) it was sweet!
sure you swept me off my feet
i miss you now and then,
but would i do it all again - Nah -
(Repeat Chorus)
Na...
------------------------------------------------------------------------

and every hour you're awake

KA-CHING!
We live in a greedy little world -
that teaches every little boy and girl
to earn as much as they can possibly -
then turn around and
spend it foolishly
we create it as a credit card mess
we send the money that we don't possess
our religion is to go and blow it all
so it's shoppin' every sunday at the mall
all we ever want is more
a lot more than we had before
so take me to the nearest store
Chorus:
Can you hear it ring
it makes you wanna sing
it's such a beautiful thing - ka-ching!
lots of diamond rings
the happiness it brings
you'll live like a king
with lots of money and things
When you're broke go and get a loan
take out another mortgage on your home
consolidate so you can afford
to go and spend some more when
you get bored
All we ever want is more
a lot more than we had before
so take me to the nearest store
(Repeat Chorus)
Let's swing
dig deeper in your pocket
oh, yeah, ha
come on i know you've got it
dig deeper in your wallet
oh
all we ever want is more
a lot more than we had before
so take me to the nearest store
(Repeat Chorus)
Can you hear it ring
it makes you wanna sing
you'll live like a king
with lots of money and things

it was worth it just to watch her grow
oh, oh, at least i was able to hold her
whenever she needed my shoulder
i'm so glad i never let her go

nothin' that i wouldn't do - hoo - hoo
you could put a hole in my shoe
(Repeat Chorus)
Not you - hoo - hoo, not you - hoo -

WHEN YOU KISS ME
This could be it, i think i'm in love
it's love this time
it just seems to fit, i think i'm in love
this love is mine
I can see you with me when i'm older
all my lonely nights are finally over
you took the weight of the world of my
shoulders (the world just goes away)
Chorus:
Oh, when you kiss me
i know you miss me -
and when you're with me
the world just goes away
the way you hold me
the way you show me that you
adore me - oh, when you kiss me
oh, yeah
You are the one, i think i'm in love
life has begun
I can see the two of us together
i know i'm gonna be with you forever
love couldn't be any better
(Repeat Chorus)
Instrumental Solo
I can see you with me when i'm older
all my lonely nights are finally over
you took the weight of the world off my
shoulders (the world just goes away)
(Repeat Chorus)
And when you kiss me
i know you miss me
Oh, the world just goes away
when you kiss me
