Love help: And I’d give up forever to touch you - Help.com

And I’d give up forever to touch you

Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest 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
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 ain’t coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your 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 want you to know who I am
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

“Iris” by Goo Goo Dolls

Currently taking a class in college and our topic for the day was whether anything is really what it seems. Such as , lyrics to a song(above), the emotions you put forth, love, sadness, bitterness, spite, but even more so, gratitude, and well-being. Really, as human beings, do you think that we ever set anything straight, or do we hold back and say what sounds right. I’ve noticed that many people do it sub-consciously, just wanting to please others. It seems that everything has an underlying message. My father once told my brother that what a woman says, is never what she means. But, is it really just women? Can’t this apply to anyone? Well, my question is why do people shadow themselves from the truth? Are we really afraid of the results? Any comments are welcome.

I think that when you get to a place you can say what you truly feel to someone you should grasp it. It sure doesn’t happen often.

btw, I love that song, I saw googoo dolls the sunday just gone in Hyde park. They were amazing, even better performance than counting crows who were the ones I actually wanted to see

Hyde Park NY? Ever heard of the Culinary Institute of America? I went to school there for about 7 months then I transferred. By the way, I am a huge Goo Goo Dolls fan as well, Iris is my favorite song

I agree with jerzzi_a

Also, if we didn’t lie, the truth wouldn’t be so scary. Jesus said “The truth will set you free”

By the way, I love you that song! =D
It’s one of my favorite songs ever.

Spot on nee, running round making everyone happy is definately recipe for disaster, did you see my post on, - Only 30% of people on average will like you ?? Thats why were on a losing side if we attempt to get all to love us

I agree nee, If you spend your life making other people happy, there will not be any more room to make YOU happy, afterall, it is YOUR life. And wayne, I cannot believe that you havent heard this song, it is my favorite, ( something we don’t have in common, I told you I would find something ) Well, you have to listen to it, The words are even more powerful with the music. And thanks again everyone for the comments.

People are afraid of results if they have no control over them… And if we are in the service of a fellow person than it distracts us from any result they may come about do to the fact that we are not focused on ourselves but the wellness of the person we are helping… this is a double bladed sword do to the fact that it is good to help others but in the end we need to make sure to help ourselves
