Lyrics:

   Verse 1:
   And I'd give up forever to touch you,
   cause i know that you feel me somehow
   your the closest to heaven that i'll ever be,
   and i don't wanna go home right now
   and all i can taste is this moment,
   and all i can breathe is your life
   when 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's understand
   when everythings made to be broken,
   i just want you to know who i am.

   Verse 2:
   And you can't fight the tears that ain't comin',
   or the moment of truth in you lies
   when everything feels like the movies,
   yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.

   (Chorus)
