I tried to paint you a picture
The colors were all wrong
Black and white didn't fit ya
You're all alone

You were shaded with patience
You're strokes were everything
That I need just to make it
And I believe that

It's time to tear you apart
But it won't break
Anything that you are
You are

(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
Our love is our divide

I want 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 hunt them down
You're an island
And my ship has run aground

Time to tear you apart
But it won't break
Anything that we are
We are

(chorus)

Everything you did
And I can be
You changed
My philosophy
I'm never gonna let you
Cast me by

So don't say
You're goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break
We won't die
It's just a moment of change

So don't say
You're goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break
We won't die
