I tried to paint you a picture
The colors were all wrong
Black and white didn't fit you
And all alongYou were shaded with patience
Your strokes of everything
That I need just to make it,
But I can see yeahLord knows I failed you time and again,
But you and me are alrightWe 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 changeAll we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi, yeahI walked a minute in your shoes
They never would've fit
I figured there's nothing to lose
I need to getSome perspective on these words
Before I write them down
You're an island and my ship
Has run agroundOh Lord knows I failed you time and again,
But you and me are alright, yeahWe 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 changeAll we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi, oh oh oohEvery single day that I can breathe
You changed my philosophy
I'm never gonna let you pass me bySo don't say your goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We wont break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change, yeah
ooh, oohSo 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 changeAll we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi, yeah, ooh, ooh.So don't say your goodbyes
You know it's better
We won't break, we won't dieOoh, ooh, ooh, ooh-whoa,
ah, ah, ooh, ooh-oohWon't die, wont die this time
