Lyrics Page

I tried to paint you a picture

The colours 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 know 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 figure 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 know 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

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 now 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 now 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 die
