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
Verse 2
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to 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 made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Verse 3
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 your alive
Chorus
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Chorus
I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
Kerentanan Diri dan Kerinduan untuk Dipahami Seutuhnya
Lagu "Iris" dari Goo Goo Dolls menceritakan tentang intensitas cinta,pengorbanan, dan kerentanan emosional seseorang yang rela melepaskan segalanya demi bisa bersama orang yang dicintainya.Kehadiran sang kekasih digambarkan sebagai hal paling mendekati surga, memberikan rasa hidup di tengah dunia yang terasa dingin,rapuh,dan penuh kepalsuan.
Liriknya menyoroti ketakutan terhadap penghakiman dunia luar yang dianggap tidak akan pernah mengerti luka maupun pergulatan batin yang dirasakannya. Alih-alih mencari pengakuan publik,keinginan terbesarnya yang paling tulus hanyalah dilihat,diterima,dan dipahami apa adanya oleh satu orang terkasih.
