I tried to paint you a picture The colors were all wrong Black and white didn't fit ya And all along
You were shaded with patience You're strokes of everything That I need just to make it And I believe that
Time could tear you apart But it wont break Everything that you are, you are
We wont say our goodbyes You know its better that way We wont break, we dont 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 have 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
Time could tear you apart But it wont break Everything that we are, we are
We won't say our goodbye's 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's 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 goodbye's 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 goobye's You know its better that way We wont 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
