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 believe that time can tear you apart,

But it won't break, anything that you are,

You are

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

Time can tear you apart,

But it won't break, anything that we are,

We are

We won't say our goodbyes you know its 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 its better that way

We won't break, we won't die

It's just a moment of change [x2]

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 its better

We won't break, we won't die
