(Verse)
What if I did not love you?
Where will that be to me
But I wander through the avenues
Under a part of misery
(Verse)
Would I be face down in the gutter
With cheap whiskey on my breath
The lonely life of a writer
And who’s words could not make it's depths
(Chorus)
Sayin please don’t, please don’t pass me by
I am alive, oh can’t you see?
That I’ve been finding company
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 way out of love
(Verse)
Would I be searching for the savior?
Burning, burning with regret
The lonely life of a writer
Even if one last desperate quest
(Chorus)
Sayin please don’t, please don’t pass me by
I am alive, oh can’t you see?
That I’ve been finding company
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, so confused
Missing time and time don’t waits for no man
And I will just walk by
These storm filled skies have cleared
(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
