This song perfectly fits a situation in my life right now. I've been homeschooled my whole life, but next year I'm going to go to public school. There's this group of five people, they've been my best and closest friends for five years, or more. And, in two days, it's going to be probably the last time I ever see them in person for a long time. Two of these people have been in my life for as long as I can remember, and the other three are such great friends. I really love them all, and for the past two days I've been utterly terrified of saying goodbye to them. But, listening to this song, I realize that maybe it would be better without saying goodbye, because we still talk online, we still could get together at some point. This is just a moment of change, and even though it'll take a lot of getting used to, it'll be alright. I'm an artist, I've tried making pictures of my friends so many times, but it just doesn't work. I'm a writer, they give me advice, they help me with it. But walking in the path they track is impossible, for me, it simply wouldn't work. Every day that I'm alive, I'll be thinking of them, and that would likely change my philosophy. If we pass in the street, if there's a chance we could see each other again, I won't pass that opportunity up. This is going to be a really rough change for me, and I hope I'm not torn apart internally by it.
All I have to say is that piano. Oh man that piano >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SO MANY FEELS!!!!! ANY SONG WITH A PIANO AS ITS MAIN INSTRUMENT IS JUST SO FANTASTIC IN MY OPINION.I CAN'T FORGET ABOUT THAT CELLO. THE WAY IT WAS PERFECTED THO? PSHHHHHHHH!!! THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!!!
2020 update: I feel as much admiration as I did while a young teenager, in 2012-13-14. No other singer can move me as much as Mr. Ryan Tedder - the master of entering the depths of true human emotions - can..
From thinking "Counting stars" is their only best song to knowing their least heard songs are as good if not better, I grew up. Every single song, every single performance is their best. My most favourite band ❤️ with literally not a single bad song
Sois fantásticos!! En estos momentos, para mí, el mejor grupo y compositor que existe. Tengo ganas de volveros a ver en concierto, a ver cuándo volvéis a España...
the problem with most songs these days are about making music to get $$$ instead of making songs because you enjoy it/being passionate about. that's why there's always the same generic love soundtracks with similar beats being pumped out every few months.
Actually all we are is dust! Life is short, love more and hate less. go hug every loved one tell them you love them. Thx God for one more day, This song means so much for me. at everyone's opinion this is music...
One of my favorite bands. One Republic gives my life more meaning. They were there for me when Pa died and when I through shit with my friends and bullies. LOVE ONE REPUBLIC!!
I swear these guys are extremely underrated!! I only wish that I knew of them when I was back in high school. Every one of their songs speak to me in more ways than one..
I LOVE ONE REPUBLIC! They are such a talented band. You hear songs like "Apologize" and "Good life" on the radio which are good, but not their best. It is songs like this that make me truly buy into their craft. I wish more people could hear songs like this. This is what really makes them who they are.
These guys are the best out there. Their music is decent, and they are clean-cut straight, Christian men. Their love for God shows in the songs they write.
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 Your strokes of everything That I need just to make it But I can see, yeah Lord knows I failed you time and again But you and me are alright 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, yeah 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 Oh, Lord knows I failed you time and again But you and me are alright, yeah 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, oh 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 won't die It's just a moment of change, yeah, ooh, ooh 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 alibi, yeah, ooh, ooh So don't say our goodbyes You know it's better We won't break, we won't die, ooh, ooh, ah
Your band has been my favorite since the beginning, this song is helping me because I am going thru a ruff time right now thanks for all of the beautiful songs, and keep up the good work
OneRepublic has changed my life and how i listen to music completely. They will aways be my favorite band and Ryan will always be my favorite musician.
I just saw that they are going to perform in Belgium in April. The best thing that happened to me in a while. Tears of happiness, truly a dream come true.
christopher Ramirez if it helps only 7 people have disliked it in the past 5 months… only a little more than one per month. Considering this must get at least a hundred views every month, I wouldn't be too worried.
The definition of real music is the music that'll weave its way into your heart, something you'll relate to. It would touch you and give you the pure feelings a man must feel. But that's just me, because everyone has their own definition :)
So here I am, chilling in a study lesson at school, monday morning, feeling the effects from the weekend and re-telling the stories about what me and my mates got up to.. and then finding this song. My God, this is amazing!
my ex gf sent me her version of this song right before we broke up but i couldn't stand the relationship any longer so i still left her... i regret it every day, but i still love this song
10 years later and this is still my favorite OneRepublic song
Bro its the best
Still the best
i adore them
there's a cover of this song on my channel, go check it out if you'd like to ;)
It's beautiful.
2024, and still my most favorite song ever.

Ryans voice is amazing... this is far beyond good. Probably theire best live preformance
oh Ryan, you killing me with this voice
All I have to say is that piano. Oh man that piano >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SO MANY FEELS!!!!! ANY SONG WITH A PIANO AS ITS MAIN INSTRUMENT IS JUST SO FANTASTIC IN MY OPINION.I CAN'T FORGET ABOUT THAT CELLO. THE WAY IT WAS PERFECTED THO? PSHHHHHHHH!!! THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!!!
Exactly
One republic is one of those bands that I wish I could just walk up and shake their hands to show my appreciation for their musical genius.

I honestly think that dreaming out loud was their best. Really connected with fans and touched emotions. Especially this song! So stunning!
i wrote these lyrics and put them in my grandmother's casket
because i had no words of my own
RIP Freda Spaulding 3.30.10
i miss you
one of the very few bands that still write brilliant meaningful songs, and do not need to autotune themselves these days.
"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.."🎶
Love these lyrics! ❤️
Love the lyrics, love the music, love OneRepublic. How could life be better?
+Hitashi Somen Your life will be better if you listen All we are-Warlock
Listening to Maroon 5 (older songs) AND OneRepublic. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The video need more views, this version of the song sounds so beautiful, everyone should hear it.
Such a beautiful song. OneRepublic at their best.
Who's here 14 years later and still listening
I needed this song right now. Even with tears in my eyes, I needed to hear this. Beautiful song.
songs like this from 2010 are better than songs now in 2016
Correct.
like 2002
you are right hiezel
the problem with most songs these days are about making music to get $$$ instead of making songs because you enjoy it/being passionate about.
that's why there's always the same generic love soundtracks with similar beats being pumped out every few months.
True but this was like 2007
how can someone sing SO beautifully? every part of my soul echoes back. he is a gift from heaven.:)
Amazing! I love Ryan Tedder and One Republic! What vocal talent! and plays how many instuments to boot!
piano + viollon + ryan tedder voice = somethink amazing !!!
That is a Cello. Not a violin ;)
I almost forgot about this song and oh god it is one of the most beautiful pieces they’ve ever made.
Best version , every time I hear this, I get goose bumps.
Oh my God, this man's got an AWESOME voice, truly! I'm such a fan of OneRepublic!!!
that's why i LOVE OneRepublic, whenever I hear their music, i get goosebumps .
Me encanta este tema 😊❤ los sigo desde sus inicios y este temas siempre fue uno que mas me gusto. Saludos desde Argentina😊
Actually all we are is dust! Life is short, love more and hate less. go hug every loved one tell them you love them. Thx God for one more day, This song means so much for me. at everyone's opinion this is music...
You can see the emotion in his eyes. That's why I love their music so much. It's real.
Agreed,it's not just words on paper to Ryan - he feels everything deeply,and that's why I lve One Republic so much.
Ryan's voice for this song is perfect
Favorite song of all time :) Heard it on Pandora and I can't get it out of my head, it's such an amazing and inspirational song
This is so beautiful I'm going to cry~ ;~;
agree!!!!
I agree too!! It was one of my first OneRepublic songs i've heard! And wow it was and it is mind blowing!!
One of my favorite bands. One Republic gives my life more meaning. They were there for me when Pa died and when I through shit with my friends and bullies.
LOVE ONE REPUBLIC!!
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard... Love OneRepublic.
I swear these guys are extremely underrated!! I only wish that I knew of them when I was back in high school. Every one of their songs speak to me in more ways than one..
So don't say our goodbye's, you know it's better that way.
I LOVE ONE REPUBLIC! They are such a talented band. You hear songs like "Apologize" and "Good life" on the radio which are good, but not their best. It is songs like this that make me truly buy into their craft. I wish more people could hear songs like this. This is what really makes them who they are.
As an artist, the beginning to this song is my favorite
My Lord, teenage angst! heavenly
Amazing song mixed with the incredible voice of Ryan Tedder :)
Почему бы и не переслушать снова одну из любимых песен в 3:25 утра?☺️
I would die for Brent's cello in this version.
Thank God you have gotten your chance to share such beautiful music with the world....thank you!
This song always make me cry! :'(
Been listening to this song for hours. Never gets old!
Love his voice :) Just awesome
These guys are the best out there. Their music is decent, and they are clean-cut straight, Christian men. Their love for God shows in the songs they write.
I love how their songs actually mean something instead of mindless words playing to a poppy tune.
Thank you Ryan Tedder for this Heartbreaking Song
I love One Republic and their songs !
oh god! such an emotional song
My all time favorite band! I have listened to their albums since I was very young!
If he was on xfactor and I was one of the judges I would have hit the golden buzzer😊
There's no golden buzzer on X Factor. You're thinking of Britain's Got Talent :(
im crying. his voice is unreal. hats off! classiest band ever. im speechless.. thats all !
Una de mis favoritas, no puedo dejar de escucharla.
one republic est le meilleur group de l ' année 2010-2014
The reason this song is so good is cause its PURE.
+Geza Bereczky jr. (Nbuilder)
EXACTLY
How does one make such beautiful sounds like that with your mouth?
Ryan Tedder is simply something worth of awe.
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
Your strokes of everything
That I need just to make it
But I can see, yeah
Lord knows I failed you time and again
But you and me are alright
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, yeah
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
Oh, Lord knows I failed you time and again
But you and me are alright, yeah
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, oh
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 won't die
It's just a moment of change, yeah, ooh, ooh
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 alibi, yeah, ooh, ooh
So don't say our goodbyes
You know it's better
We won't break, we won't die, ooh, ooh, ah
❤😊🙌🫶
Thank you
Your band has been my favorite since the beginning, this song is helping me because I am going thru a ruff time right now thanks for all of the beautiful songs, and keep up the good work
2020 ❤

Ein sehr bewegendes Lied, wunderschön mit dem KLavier und dem cello
All Time Favorite from the #DreamingOutLoudAlbum

UNSC ASSASSAIN Did you forget?
If I ever got the chance to meet One Republic I would probably cry. And there isn't no other artist I can say that about.
any1 still here?
OneRepublic is FANTASTIC! I have no idea why songs like this aren't popular...
My favorite 1R song..
OneRepublic has changed my life and how i listen to music completely. They will aways be my favorite band and Ryan will always be my favorite musician.
At least anyone at 2020?😅
I just saw that they are going to perform in Belgium in April. The best thing that happened to me in a while. Tears of happiness, truly a dream come true.
Bela canção!
I was looking at my photo album and remembering all those wonderful memories, and I land on this song. Now I have tears in my eyes
Es demasiado hermoso ;-;
I LOVE it how most of the One Republic songs I love have a cello in it.
And I play the cello ^_^
Lovely song1
my fav. all time video!!!! the lighting, the fact its just the two of them is amazing!
Vim pelo livro da Isabela. Não Se Iluda Não
hands down, most talented singer this generation
We Won't Break
We Won't Die
It's Just a Moment of Change....
Such a moment of change it is....
God! this song is AMAZING ! ! OneRepublic is the best band EVER.
those 361 people that dislike aren't right in the head or haven't felt true love before my favorite song from One Republic
christopher Ramirez if it helps only 7 people have disliked it in the past 5 months… only a little more than one per month. Considering this must get at least a hundred views every month, I wouldn't be too worried.
I first heard this song 10 years ago. I listened to the album version first, and then this. But both are amazing
I can't believe there are people who DON'T like this song! Those people have no taste in music... no offense :/
The definition of real music is the music that'll weave its way into your heart, something you'll relate to. It would touch you and give you the pure feelings a man must feel. But that's just me, because everyone has their own definition :)
2022
So here I am, chilling in a study lesson at school, monday morning, feeling the effects from the weekend and re-telling the stories about what me and my mates got up to.. and then finding this song. My God, this is amazing!
so beautiful .....
Ryan Tedder or the song lol... seriously I agree though.
Carrie Carmody both
Yup so beatiful in 360P xD
Enough with the love stories... This song is amazing, that's all that matters.
I wish I had a piano, and I knew how to play it, and then, I would make a video, singing this song for the love of my life, who has left me :(
hey, it's never too late! do it ;)
It seems to be :(
I have piano and know how to play it and can sing well lol
This song has been my favorite for everr , I just love OneRepublic, literally the ONLY group I listen too going on 8 years now , #1Fannn
nao se iluda, nao bring me here
I just discovered this song today 3 hours ago...That poor replay button better not break or die!
Não se iluda, não! rsrsr
songs being more personal is what makes them beautiful. so people can relate to them.
my ex gf sent me her version of this song right before we broke up but i couldn't stand the relationship any longer so i still left her... i regret it every day, but i still love this song
I absolutely love this song!
Não se iluda.não :)
Tarde de mais
