It Only Hurts When I Breathe

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