About time the pretty smiley ones spoke out
I used to look at them like
"They need a reality check, they have no idea
What pain and torment
A girl like me has gone through
What it's like to be cheated and lied to
Spat on and *****
What it's like to regret waking up each day
Only to face the cruelty of a hormonal imbalance"
Oh but they do. Only they deal a lot better
Than me.
They put on a brave face and deal
Just deal
Because they may LOOK like they have friends
And a home
And love
But inside they are just like you
Just like me
And it's about time they got honest and started speaking out
And helping others
**Like me

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,
But I can see

Lord knows I failed you time and again,
But you and me are alright

We won't say our goodbyes
You know its better that way
We wont break, we wont die
Its 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 have 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 failed you time and again,
But you and me are alright, Yeah

We won't say our goodbyes
You know its better that way
We wont break, we wont die
Its 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 changed 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 wont break, we wont die
Its just a moment of change
Yeah, ooh, ooh.

So don't say your goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We wont break, we wont die
Its 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 dont say your goodbyes
You know it's better...
We wont break, we wont die

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-whoa, ahh, ahh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Won't die, wont die this time
Won't die, won't die, oh....)

I want you to love me
Like you did before
Before the distance grew
Between us two...

I wish you said my name like hers
Then the pain in my chest
Wouldn't be so sore

I wish I could avoid the truth
I grew to love the

M E M O R I E S

More than I did you.
