* 3-bar intro

* Verse 1 And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest thing to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now;
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.

* 3-bar break

* Verse 2 And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies.
When everything seems like the movies,
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive.

* Repeat chorus

* 26-bar break

* Repeat chorus twice

* Repeat last line of chorus three times
