AN-Don't own Riff(If I did, I'd be VERY happy…my very own Richard!!!) And I don't own the Goo Goo Dolls, or their song, Iris. Please R/R :G (Sad puppy dog face)

And I'd give up forever to touch you,

He would, wouldn't he? I asked myself as the song played in the backround.

Cause I know that you feel me somehow,

HAH! How could anyone feel him? He wasn't human, wasn't alien even. He was just weird.

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

True. I doubted that he'd even come close to heaven.

And I don't want to go home right now.

I did though. So did she. Oh, how I wanted to go home.

And all I can taste is this moment

So? Who cares? Moment of what? Truth?

And all I can breathe is your life

That really got me to laugh. What life? Most of the people that he brought back were either too drunk, or too stoned to have any life.

When sooner or later it's over,

I hoped it would be sooner. I wanted to get away from him, and get away from here.

I just don't want to miss you tonight,

They sure didn't agree. Most people would WANT to miss him.

And I don't want the world to see me

No, they'd probably go screaming in fear. But I'm not one to be talking

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

He's right, they wouldn't. Most people don't/

When everything's made to be broken

Especially promises when it came to him. And backs, my back in particular

I just want you to know who I am

Who is he? Good question. No one quite exactly knows.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

But what about the ones that do come? The tears of pain that one can feel, the tears of humiliation? Tears of anger?

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When did he tell the truth? I supposed there were parts in there when he did.

When everything feels like the movies

This place did have a feeling like it was out of a movie. A bad B-budget sci-fci movie.

Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

Bleed. That's all I did. Bleed. Whether it was from the deep scars across my back, or from pain inside, that's all I did.

The footsteps approached my door, and I quickly shut off the radio, ready to face whatever task was now at hand.
