    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

    I never understood people who don't get this music, feel it, how real it is. They don't understand me either. The lonely life of a gemini...I'm just a "Daisy In A Field of Roses."

    As an aspiring writer, this is a very emotional video to watch because I can relate to it closely. Good writing even to the best of writers is not easy. It makes me really sad in a way that it puts words to what I'm going through, but also makes me glad because it reinforces that I'm not alone. I hope I can find someone to help me find my mouth.

    I catch myself still listening to this song despite it being years already. I used to listen to this when I was on my way to the states to be with my then husband. “But I'll never take any pictures 'cause I know I'll just be right back”. He was the one introducing me to CAC, still hurts, but somewhat a comfort at the same time.

    I feel like the artist, and I am an artist myself. We see many things that people don't see, but I have the tendency to be blind to people who care most about me. Even though I may see other things people don't.
