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,
and strokes of everything
That i need just to make it,
and i believe that
Time can tear you apart,
but it won't break
Anything that you are
You are
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
(ohhh)
I walked a minute in your shoes
They never would have fit
I figured there's nothin 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
Time can tear you apart,
but it won't break
Anything that we are
We are
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
(ohhh)
And 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 chaaaange
(oooo ohhh)
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
(yeahhh...ooooooo....)
So don't say our goodbyes, you know it's better....
We won't break; we won't die...
