( I've listened too this song over and over
and these are the correct and newly written lyrics)

I tried to paint you a picture,
The colours were all wrong.
Black and white didn't fit you,
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 to tare you apart
but it wont break
Everything 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.
Oh oh.....

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 to tare you apart,
but it wont break
anything that we are,
We 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....
Ohhhhh

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 its better that way.
We won't break,
We won't die.
It's just a moment of change, yeah...
Ooooooh

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.
All we are,
All we are is everything that's right.
All we need,
All we need,
A lover's alibi.

Yeah.......
Ooh, Ooh.

So don't say our goodbyes,
I know it's better....
We won't break, We won't die
Ooh
