LYRICS:
What if I did not love you?
Where would that leave me
Would I wander through the avenues
Under a pall of misery
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
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
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
Would I be searching for a savior?
Burned and burning with regret
The lonely life of a writer
Only if one last desperate request
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
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
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

This is`an example of example of truly great song writing. The words are simple but are put together in a way that evoke a mental image or an emotional response. Throughout the song is the strumming of a lonely acoustic guitar. This song makes it easier to tolerate all the trash music in the world.

[@Zexion0]

Yea most def. That's why I love DG´s material. He can make a song be extremely powerful and moving with very simple phrases. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call talent.

[@casenkeith5696]

you probably dont give a shit but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!

[@lukafinnley3765]

@Casen Keith instablaster ;)

[@NatNat-fi7my]

[@alegend2411]

Natallia Kulik I'm 2 years late for this amazing comment

[@carolinecorbett7365]

I love this song so much. Perfect for walking in Georgetown in the fall

[@jenniferblues5328]

I love this song! Dallas Green is super smart, and an awesome writer! You can certainly tell he's seen some shit in his day, but he is just so well spoken that he is good at conveying more than one feeling at a time. He speaks and people listen to what he has to say. His music hits me a little closer to home and I believe Jesus first saved my soul in 2014 but I think anyone has the power to heal a soul in his case that's what he does with his music..... Amen...Thank YOU Jesus!! P.S. thanks for the read I know nobody gives a rat's patootie what I think... Who am I right? Just another random person making a random comment about an artist I picked at Random.... How bout that? Lol

[@mspunket91]

I was drinking wine in the shower listening to this song and dancing …it was amazing.

[@clairvoyant_af]

[@keeplowandstaylow8474]

[@mraccord92]

Disgusting this doesn't even have 50K views, just shows whats wrong with the world of music today. Too much S#$% makes it into the lime light while the quality stuff gets shoved to the back.

[@cormacthedestroyer7678]

It makes it even worse when you consider they are Canadian, all Canada gets credit for is Justin Bieber (who America turned into a total douche), Nickleback, and Celine Dion.

[@holytrinnity]

***** I'm canadian and I totally agree with your opinion. We hardly get any credit for any artist except for those three.

[@JuniorQc]

@@holytrinnity this is soooo wrong : Drake, The Weekend, Swollen Member, Classified, (ever heard of BRYAN ADAMS) Simple Plan, Micheal Bublé, Leonard Cohen, also a little dj called deadmau5 is canadian. Shaianna Twain, the signer of Metric is canadian, Corey Hart, i could go on for a long time. just because city and color don't have all the attention it deserve it don't mean that canadian only get reconition for 3 artist...

[@JessWardECE]

Dallas Michael John Albert Green is actually my whole life.

[@rumhurius]

toll

[@doughtonc]

What a rip off of Noel Gallagher's Soldier Boys and Jesus Freaks..
