Song lyrics

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




Version 2

I tried to paint you a picture
The colors we're all wrong
Black and white didn't fit you
And all along

You we're shaded with patience
And 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 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
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

Lord knows I'll fail you time and again
But you and me we're alright

We won't say our goodbye's
You know it's better that way,
We won't break, we won't die
I'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 change my philosophy
I'm never gonna let you pass me by

So don't say your goodbye's
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 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
A lover's alibi

So don't say our goodbye's
you know its better...
We won't break, we won't die
