The Lonely Life Lyrics - City And Colour

What if I did not love you? 

Where wiould that leave me 

Would I wander through the avenues? 

Under a pall of misery? 

(Verse) 

Would I be face down in a gutter? 

With cheap whiskey on my breath? 

The lonely life of a writer 

Who's words could not pay his debts 

Singing 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 

With one last desperate request 

Singing 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 lam 

Being hunted, so confused 

They say time and tide it waits for no man 

But I was just hoping 

These storm filled skies would clear 

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
