Verse 1
And I'd give up forever to touch you'Cause I know that you feel me somehowYou're the closest to heaven that I'll ever beAnd I don't wanna go home right nowAnd all I could taste is this momentAnd all I can breathe is your lifeAnd sooner or later, it's overI just don't wanna miss you tonightChorus
And I don't want the world to see me'Cause I don't think that they'd understandWhen everything's made to be brokenI just want you to know who I amVerse 2
And you can't fight the tears that ain't comin'Or the moment of truth in your liesWhen everything feels like the moviesYeah, you bleed just to know you're aliveChorus
And I don't want the world to see me'Cause I don't think that they'd understandWhen everything's made to be brokenI just want you to know who I amChorus
And I don't want the world to see me'Cause I don't think that they'd understandWhen everything's made to be brokenI just want you to know who I amAnd I don't want the world to see me'Cause I don't think that they'd understandWhen everything's made to be brokenI just want you to know who I amI just want you to know who I amI just want you to know who I amI just want you to know who I amWhat the song means
