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
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
Yeah
I walked some 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 around
Lord knows I'll fail you
Time and again
But you and me we're alright
Yeah
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
ooh
Every single day that I can breathe
You changed 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
Yeah
ooh
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
All we are all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need all we need
A lover's alibi Yeah...
ooh
So don't say our goodbyes
You know it's better
We won't break we won't die
ooh
