The Lonely Life
City And Colour

(Verse)
What if I did not love you?
Where would that leave me
Would I wander through the avenues
Under appall of misery

(Verse)
Would I be face down in the gutter
With cheap whiskey on my breath
The lonely life of a writer
Whose words could not pay his debts

(Chorus)
Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy

(Verse)
What if we became strangers?
Would you notice my face in a crowd?
And you could you hear the sorrow in my voice?
Helplessly crying your name out loud

(Verse)
Would I be searching for a savior?
Burned and burning with regret
The lonely life of a writer
Only if one last desperate request

(Chorus)
Singin' please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy

(Bridge)
I've been on the lamb
Being hunted, somethin' fierce
They say time and time, it wait's for no man
But I was just hopin'
These storm filled skies would clear

(Chorus)
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
