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 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
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 it's 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 it's better
We won't break, we won't die
