Lyrics of Iris - Acoustic by Adam Christopher
verse
And I′d give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You′re the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it′s over
I just don′t wanna miss you tonight
chorus
And I don't want the world to see me
′Cause I don't think that they′d understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
verse
I just want you to know who I am
And you can′t fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
chorus
And I don′t want the world to see me
′Cause I don't think that they′d understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don′t want the world to see me
'Cause I don′t think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don′t want the world to see me
′Cause I don't think that they′d understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
