Songwriter: John Rzeznik When everything's made to be broken And I don't want the world to see me And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause sooner or later it's over I just want you to know who I am When everything feels like the movies You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And all I can breathe is your life And I don't want the world to see me And I don't want the world to see me I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand I just want you to know who I am 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand Publishers: EMI VIRGIN SONGS, INC, SCRAP METAL MUSIC I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow And I don't want the world to see me I just don't want to miss you tonight When everything's made to be broken '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 And all I could taste is this moment And I don't wanna go home right now Or the moment of truth in your lies I just want you to know who I am

THEY SUNG THIS SONG!!! I DID NOT KNOW THAT!! I THOUGHT LIFEHOUSE SUNG THIS!! I THOUGHT THE GOO GOO DOLLS WERE JUST A GURL BAND!!! WELL I WAS WRONG!!

I'm thinking the song is called Iris because whichever member of the band wrote the song was writing to a girl named Iris. Either that, or that's a name he chose for her, like Styx's song "Lorali". I don't know for sure why it's called Iris, just an idea. Anyways, great songs, both of them! :)

Sometimes a song, like an Hallmark card can say it so well. So poetically; so perfectly. In a way it's nice to know that someone else knows how you may feel, but at the same time it somewhat steals from the uniqueness of the experience: The something "noone else understands. " In spite of that, the song is a window that I can claim as mine, if not my own. I'm grateful for it.

I have a station built off of this song, and I swear three of my other stations play it occasionally . Not that I'm complaining, since I think it's my favorite song by my favorite (? or close) band, but ... is my taste really that predictable?
|
||
loooove this song! I wonder why its called iris. Is that the name of the girl?

I thought that this was the same song from treasure planet since I was about 9. Of course now that I know it's not I like it just the same. Great song, very deep. |

Not to be a manic twilight fan (Ooh! THIS WULD BE GREAT FOR TWILIGHT!) but i seriously think that this really would work well in... Eclipse or Breaking Dawn. Especially the third line. It's absolutely PERFECT.
