I tried to paint you a picture
The colors were all wrong
Black and white didn't fit you and all along,
You were shaded with patience
Your strokes of everything
That I need just to make it
And I can see that
Lord knows I've failed you
Time and again
But you and me are all right
We won't say our goodbyes you know it's better that way
We won't break
We won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are, is everything that's right
All we need, all we need, a lover's alibi
I walked a minute in your shoes
They never would've fit
I figured there's nothing to lose
I need to get some perspective on these words before I write them down
You're an island and my ship has run aground
Lord knows I'll fail you time and again
But you and me we're alright
We won't say our goodbyes you know its better that way
We won't break
We won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are, is everything that's right
All we need all we need
A lover's alibi
Every single day that I can breathe, you change my philosophy
I'm never gonna let you pass me by
So don't say your goodbyes you know its better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change [x2]
All we are, all we are, is everything that's right
All we need, all we need, a lover's alibi
So don't say our goodbyes you know its better
We won't break, we won't die
The colors were all wrong
