Or the moment of truth in your lies / When everything feels like the movies / Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

73 Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
 City of Angels: Music from the Motion Picture - 1998

«Iris» es una canción de la banda estadounidense Goo Goo Dolls. Originalmente compuesta para la banda sonora de la película de 1998; City of Angels, fue posteriormente incluida en el sexto álbum de la banda, Dizzy up the girl, La composición melódica de la canción está guiada por sonidos de guitarra, bajo, mandolina, violines y violonchelos, con una base sostenida de batería.




La letra de esta canción es acorde a la historia de “City of Angels” -en español “Un ángel enamorado”, personalmente nada de mi agrado- película para la cual fue compuesta. 
Para en ese entonces, tenia un programa que era el más escuchado a la siesta en la ciudad en la que vivo y duro dos años. Este tema me gustaba mucho y siempre quedaba relegado de la lista que preparábamos para la emisión y hasta el día de hoy no se porqué.


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
