歌词
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
My little alibi
Time couldn't change us but we tried
My little alibi
I wanna see you cry
[Verse 3]
I won't forget the reasons
I went so far to love you
The patterns in the trees and wind
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 comin'
I feel it still today
[Verse 4]
My little alibi
Time couldn't change us but we tried
My little alibi
I wanna see you cry
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
My little alibi
Time couldn't change us but we tried
My little alibi
I wanna see you cry
I wanna see you cry
