In November of 1998 I listened to this song for 3 days straight before shooting myself through the heart with a 9mm handgun. I had to “bleed just to know I was alive.” Obviously I am still here and can’t wait to see the Goo Goo Dolls live for the first time this Friday at SPAC! #GooGooDolls #SPAC #bleedtoknowimalive
Iris, written by John T Rzeznik
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
And sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t wanna 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 meant 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 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 meant to be broken
I just want 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 meant to be broken
I just want 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 meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I read your story, and I want you to know I’m thinking about you. I’ve experienced a lot of suicidal ideation in my own life.
