It Only Hurts When I Breathe Lyrics - Release - Cop Shoot Cop

Was a time I would have cried 

Those days have all gone by 

You always walked a crooked line 

And so did I 

You read my thoughts, you knew my fears 

Weren't as old as you appeared 

But so much wiser than your years 

And I was blind 

If I mentioned love I take it back 

I saw your heart and it was black 

I finally found out what you lack 

And that's a soul 

You left a trail of rubber checks 

Broken hearts and busted necks 

What the fuck did I expect 

I don't know 

You can give your confession tomorrow 

If you find a priest dumb enough to believe 

It only hurts when I breathe 

Purge and binge, binge and purge 

Gorged on speed and bitter words 

Found ourselves on be and 3rd 

One more time 

Feast and fast, burn and crash 

Couldn't seem to make it last 

You stole my confidence and cash 

But I will survive 

You can give your confession tomorrow 

If you find a priest dumb enough to believe 

It only hurts when I breathe 

Tears and laughs, laughs and tears 

Days are weeks and months are years 

Up the on-ramp grinding gears 

Away we go 

Looking for a bar to burn 

Waiting for the tide to turn 

Some people never learn 

And I should know 

You can give your confession tomorrow 

If you find a priest dumb enough to believe 

And me I'll just beg steal and borrow 

Because it only hurts when I breathe 

It only hurts when I breathe
