All we are

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
And strokes of everything
That I need just to make it
But I can see that

Lord knows I failed you time and again
But you and me are alright

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

Lord knows I failed you time and again
But you and me are alright

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

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 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 your goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
