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, and strokes of everything
That I need just to make it, and I believe that

It's time to 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 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

It's time to tear you apart
But it won't 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

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

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
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 that way
We won't break, we won't die...
