But I Did Not Lyrics - Howe Gelb

Would I be awakened where the wrong side renders? 

would I be a dangling toward demise? 

forgetting about the innocent splendors? 

and rage blinding my eyes? 

could have slouched into deception 

could have just made it make more sense 

accept the devilish invitation? 

should I just sit upon this fence? 

{CHORUS} no, I won?t let go 

take in the herald I hear a harking 

against the bone yard hounds a barking 

almost went to bed hating it 

almost managed to manifest 

tormented by stating it 

a situation so self obsessed 

felt like burning down the home 

felt like buying me a gun 

felt like I was all alone 

felt like taking it all on the run 

{CHORUS} 

people just smiling at the sun shining 

seeing the dark clouds? silver lining 

hearing the happy children a chirping 

sacrifice sometimes is just timing 

feel so much you can?t stand it 

feel the love that lives inside it 

realize that life is but a minute 

until I finally found you in it 

no, I won?t let go 

against the haunting howls a hounding 

give it all a god almighty pounding 

{CHORUS}
