Coming Up For Air

I must feel something if I feel this hurt
I just need time to breathe and catch my breath
I'm being drowned by words
I have no rebuttal for
My story lies in book
maybe the key is there
I don't know how to show 
all that you give to me
I just try to make it through my day
and my nights belong to you
that's all I'm asking from you
My music is missed
and creating a void
I want to show you all I can do
I don't want to feel trapped in my own room
I just need a moment to come up for air
I'm not asking for eternity
