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 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

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

So don't say our goodbyes

You know it's better

We won't break, we won't d
