Help with finding poetic devices in the song "Iris"?

This is for an English project, I have to find 6 poetic devices in the Goo Goo Dolls song "Iris" I have found about 4 already, can someone help me and find some more please? Be aware it has to be one of each such as: simile, metaphor, alliteration, rhyme, repition, etc.





Here are the lyrics:





Iris by Goo Goo Dolls





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 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 made 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 made 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 made 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'm sorry, but I don't think this is the best song you could have chosen.
