I tried to paint you a picture,
　　the colors we're 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,
　　and I can see that...
　　Lord knows I've failed you, time and again
　　But you and me are all right
　　We won't say our goodbye's,
　　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 nothin 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 we're alright
　　We won't say our goodbye's,
　　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
