Mayday Parade - If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet? Lyrics

Artist: Mayday Parade

Album: Anywhere But Here

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Brooks Betts, Christopher Bundrick, Alex Garcia, Bobby Huff, Jeremy Lenzo, Derek Sanders

Baby, I sorely miss the vibrant gleam that's in your eyes
I'll write a song about it
And maybe if the melody's just right
I hope tonight it will find you, it will remind you

But what's holding me back is the thought of time we never had
My world's hanging by three words that I can't bear to say

When you hear this chorus
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
Do you hurt the way that I do?

After all this time you leave me broken
This song is every word I left unspoken
When you hear this girl, I'm hoping that you think of us
That you think of us

Baby, I told myself that I'll be fine but it's a lie
I don't want to talk about it
Memories, oh, they cut like knives
Deep inside I'm falling, baby, catch me if you can

What's holding me back is the thought of time we never had
My world's hanging by three words that I can't bear to say

When you hear this chorus
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
Do you hurt the way that I do?

After all this time you leave me broken
This song is every word I left unspoken
When you hear this, girl, I'm hoping that you think of us

When you hear this chorus
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
Do you hurt the way that I do?

After all this time you leave me broken
This song is every word I left unspoken
When you hear this, girl, I'm hoping that you think of us
That you think of us

Baby, I sorely miss the vibrant gleam that's in your eyes

    GO RADIO, for the win. Mayday Parade is nothing without Jason. They're new album wasn't awful, but it is not the same without Jason. He is such an amazing singer and an even better songwriter.

    Go Radio is where it's at :)

    All i can say is I miss Jason :(. Great song but his voice enhanced the music so much

    The new Mayday Parade album is really good, though, I personally believe that a lot of the emotion was lost after Jason left. I will always love their old stuff a hell of a lot more, but the new stuff isn't terrible. It's just more mainstream, and more sellable now. Which I knew would happen. It happens to every band. At least they didn't sell out, unlike Faber Drive.

    Although I hated the album (not because Jason left, but because the music could have and should have been a hell of a lot better), I loved this song.
