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 I'm doing much much better I was just a little under the weather But pay no mind to me 'Cause you know that It only hurts when I breathe And I make believe That maybe he truly needs me It only hurts here and there But 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 by the way I never could get it out of your face So if I don't care if they made 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 will show you the pictures Tell you all about it for That's how you leave me 'Cause you know that It only hurts when I breathe When I make believe that Maybe he truly needs me It only hurts here and there But doesn't he care? Doesn't he ever miss me? It only hurts me when I breathe So whatcha doin' tomorrow night? Let's have a drink I won't bite He said sure let me just run it by My wife It only hurts when I breathe When I make believe that Maybe he truly needs me It only hurts here and there But doesn't he care? Doesn't he ever miss me? It only hurts me when I breathe
