[Verse 1]
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
But I can see that
[Pre-Chorus]
Lord knows I've failed you, time and again
But you and me were all right
[Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus 2]
All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi
[Verse 2]
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 & my ship
Has run aground
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Bridge]
Every single day that I can breathe
You changed my philosophy
I'm never going to let you pa** me by
[Chorus 1][x2]
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1]
