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

Lord knows I failed you time and again
But you and me are 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

I walked a minute in your shoes, they never would have fit
I figured there´s nothing to lose, I need get
Some perspective on these words, before I write them down
You´re an island and my ship has run aground

Lord knows I failed you time and again
But you and me are 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

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 change, yeah
All we are, all we are, is everything that´s right
All we need, all we need, a lover´s alibi, yeah

So don´t say your goodbyes, you know it´s better that way
We won´t break, we won´t die
