I tried to paint you a picture The colours were all wrong Black and white didn't fit you and all along you were shaded with patience You're strokes of everything that I need just to make it and I believe that Lord knows I failed you time and again But you and me are alright 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 Oh oh 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 is running ground Lord knows I fail you time and again But you and me are alright 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 Oh 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 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 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 I know it's better We won't break We won't die Ooh
