[Verse 1]
I've been thinking lately
If it would be better
If I just disappear
If I wasn't right here

[Verse 2]
I've been thinking lately
Was it that hard to hold me?
You said I should be happy
Will that make loving be easy?

[Chorus]
Would your world be less of its burdens
If I wasn't here to tire you out?
Would it hurt to ask you to listen
Or would you rather I keep my voice down?
I've just been thinking lately
Did you feel better when I wasn't around?

[Verse 3]
They think the world's at my feet
But I keep sinking underneath
Under the bathroom sink
You played hide and seek
But you did it well enough to lose me
[Chorus]
Would your world be less of its burdens
If I wasn't here to tire you out?
Would it hurt to ask you to listen
Or would you rather I keep my voice down?
I've just been thinking lately
Would you feel better if I wasn't around?
If I wasn't around
When I wasn't around

[Bridge]
I pulled myself together
Though we could get better
But every time I tried, I found myself deep in the water
I thought you pulled me closer
But you left and held another
Oh, what's the point of staying if we're only good on paper
It's not worth it anymore
Drowing alone on these bathroom floors

[Chorus]
Would your world be less of its burdens
If I wasn't here to tire you out?
Would it hurt to ask you to listen
Or did you rather I kept my voice down
But I'm getting back on my feet
You can no longer haunt me
'Cause I've just been thinking lately
How it would be better if you weren't around
