I know it's really stupid
And I know I'm wasting time
Maybe you wouldn't say that if you knew
How hard it is to bring me back to life

I know I should look elsewhere
And I do as best I can
Maybe you wouldn't say that if you knew
How hard it is to tear myself away

When the world goes on without you
When it doesn't matter if you're gone
When the world goes on without you
Is when you put your mask back on

I know there are more options
And I'd like to test them out
Maybe you wouldn't say that if you knew
How hard it is to forgive and forget

I know it shouldn't matter
And I should think differently
Maybe you wouldn't say that if you knew
How hard it is to find another way

When the world goes on without me
When it doesn't matter when I'm gone
When the world goes on without me
Is when I put my mask back on

I know that I will grow bored
And I try to block the thoughts
Maybe you wouldn't say that if you knew
How hard it is to stop the whirl inside

I know that I am desperate
And I wish I weren't so
Maybe you wouldn't say that if you knew
How hard it is for me to try again

So the world goes on without me
And I've put the mask back on
So the world goes on without me
It hasn't noticed that I'm gone
