Why Mona Lisa Smiled Lyrics

I walk the streets you cross my way
I try to hide and turn my face away
You ask me how I feel

A love so real has just passed away
I lost it all before the end of the day
But don't worry
Here's what you can't see

Everything's alright with me
Everything's right with me

It only hurts when I breathe
Oh, love can be so cruel
Gives hope and then destroys your dreams
It only hurts when I breathe
Now let me live my life
I've got to get you out of me

So if you cut out wounded flesh
Just be aware that there's nothing left
Avoiding blood poisoning

I close my eyes and still I see
The happiness surrounding you and me
And this illusion it just makes sure that

Everything's alright with me
Everything's ok with me
Everything's so fine you see
Yes everything's right with me

It only hurts when I breathe
Oh, love can be so cruel
Gives hope and then destroys your dreams
It only hurts when I breathe
Now let me live my life

Because
(It only hurts when I breathe)
I can walk I can run
I can do my thing
(It only hurts when I breathe)
I can eat, I can sleep
I can dance and sing
(Oh uouh)
You see I'm strong
Don't get me wrong
No single tear
Since you've been gone
I can breathe

It only hurts when I breathe
Oh, love can be so cruel
Gives hope and then destroys your dreams
It only hurts when I breathe
Now let me live my life
I've got to get you out of me

It only hurts when I breathe
Now let me live my life
I've got to face reality
