"Coming Up For Air" Lyrics

I'm coming up for air
I feel the world around me
Crumble in despair
Everything feels empty

I'm coming up for air
Cause everything feels thicker
And I wonder if you care
Cause my time is fading quicker

I don't have the answers
To why you feel so hurt
You can cry on my shoulder
Before it gets worse

Remember in the kitchen when you said goodbye
I had to grab my shirtsleeve there were tears to hide
Departing my old lifestyle and departing you
Which was more important? Neither felt so true

I'm coming up for air
Hopefully there's some left
It never is too easy
To pass all these tests

I don't have the answers
To why you feel so hurt
You can cry on my shoulder
Before it gets worse

Maybe I just think way too much
About your perfume and your warm touch
I threw away all the letters you wrote
Except for that one last goodbye note

And the air is depleted
There's nothing left
You took the rest

So I'll have to start life over
But you're gone
So you won
So you won
