Lyrics of Alex by Shane Smith & the Saints
verse
The hard times blow in three, so it seems
At least that's the way this year has seemed to toll
And I've been handed things that others sweat and bleed for
I'm undeserving, I'm on a pedestal
chorus
I wish I knew you back before you had to leave
You know I, I wish I had truly felt your light
And I've been blessed in ways that almost sickens my mind
I wish you could run this right
You deserve my life
verse
And Lord, I wonder why it had to be her, you know
To me, it seemed too early to be right
The brightest colors in the sky, they dance at dawn
But soon enough they're gonna fade to night
They always fade to night
chorus
I wish I knew you back before you had to leave
You know I, I wish I had truly felt your light
And I've been blessed in ways that almost sickens my mind
I wish you could run this right
You deserve my life
bridge
And all the seasons seem to blow in all the change
It's like the leaves, they make their colors, then they fall
And this October came with more than just a breeze
It's like she made her change and blew above us all
She blew above us all
chorus
I wish I knew her back before she had to leave
You know I, I wish I had truly felt your light
And I've been blessed in ways that almost sickens my mind
I wish you could run this right
You deserve it
chorus
I wish I knew you back before you had to leave
You know I, I wish I had truly felt your light
And I've been blessed in ways that almost sickens my mind
I wish you could run this right
You deserve my life
