Lyrics:

I had my heart set on making it with you
Strange how the wind seemed to turn
But love is the teacher, it tells you what to do
So I'll face tomorrow and I'll see it through

I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
And I'll survive
As long as I can believe
Someone who needs love like mine
Is leavin' someone too
Maybe if the time is right
It'll turn out to be you

I took my chances without a guarantee
Gave you the best of my love
But time is the healer, at least that's what they say
The part of the strong one gets harder to play

But I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
I'll survive
As long as I can believe
That someone who needs love like mine
Is leavin' someone too
Maybe it'll turn out to be you

I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
I've done everything
No more cards up my sleeve

I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
