OneRepublic - All We Are lyrics

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, 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 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 Lord knows I'll fail you time and again But you and me are alright, yeah 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 pa** 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, yeah All we are, all we are, is everything that's right All we need, all we need, a lover's alibi, yeah So don't say your goodbyes, you know it's better that way We won't break, we won't die
