Who I Am
Goo Goo Dolls · Other Songs - Goo Goo Dolls
Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
And I dont wanna go home right now.
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breath is your life
Well sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight.
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.
And you can't fight the tears that aint coming
All the moments of truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive.
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 whant 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 made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am. X2
I just want you to know who I am
