(Verse)
What if I did not love you?
Where will that leave me

Would 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 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 way out loud

(Verse)

Would I be searching for a 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 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, 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
