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, yeah. 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'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 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, ooh, ooh. 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, yeah, ooh, ooh. So don't say our goodbyes You know it's better...
