[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Lord knows I failed you time and again
But you and me are all right
Say

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Lord knows I'll fail you time and again
But you and me are alright, yeah

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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
Oh
Ooh ooh

[Chorus]
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
Ooh, yeah, ooh oh
Ah yeah
All we need, all we need yeah
Alibi, an alibi yeah
An alibi, an alibi yeah
Oh oh oh

[Outro]
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

OneRepublic is an American pop rock band, led by Ryan Tedder.

The band has released four studio albums, Dreaming Out Loud (2007), Waking Up (2009) and Native (2013), and Oh My My (2016). “Apologize” and “Counting Stars” are two of their most well-known singles, the former being their debut and the latter from the third album.

The band started with the name “Republic,” but then it was changed to “OneRepublic” or else it would be difficult to distinguish the group from other bands and other search items on search engines.
