One Republic - 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
Your strokes of everything that I need just to make it

And I believe that I could tear you apart
but it won't break anything that you are, you are
We'll 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
Our 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 is running ground

I could tear your apart,
but it won't break anything that we are, we are
We'll say our 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
Our 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 its better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are, is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
Our lover's alibi
