Alibi

Capo on 2 I won't forget the reasons I went so far to love you A man is most important When he's unmoved by separation And tries to match the tempo In which death succeeds creation Burning there to keep you All I needed was some patience When you turned into a woman When I loved you as a child I wanted to protect you From the things that made you smile My little alibi Time couldn't change us but we tried My little alibi I wanna see you cry Oohh oohh-oohh oohh Oohh oohh-oohh oohh Oohh oohh-oohh oohh Oohh-oohh I won't forget the reasons I went so far to love you The patterns in the trees and winds Forgot themselves inside you But I was not the wind I was an anchor just to keep you As clean, never fleeting Like the innocence that bound you And I hate to say it But you were bad in every way I guess I had it coming I feel it still today My little alibi Time couldn't change us but we tried My little alibi I wanna see you cry Oohh oohh-oohh oohh Oohh oohh-oohh oohh Oohh oohh-oohh oohh Oohh-oohh I won't forget the reasons I went so far to love you A man is most important When he's unmoved by separation And tries to match the tempo In which death succeeds creation Burning to keep you All I needed was some patience As you turned into a woman When I loved you as a child I wanted to protect you From the things that drove you wild My little alibi Time couldn't change us but we tried My little alibi I wanna see you cry Oohh oohh-oohh oohh (I wanna see you cry) Oohh oohh-oohh oohh Oohh oohh-oohh oohh Oohh-oohh Oohh oohh-oohh oohh Oohh oohh-oohh oohh Oohh oohh-oohh oohh Oohh-oohh
