[Verse 1]
I'm not so sure if it's a gift
Or a curse that I have been given
To live with
Sometimes it's my only wish
That I didn't have to be so different
What's the reason
But you don't wanna be

[Pre-Chorus]
Going through the motions
As a ship sets on the oceans
Passing you on by
You stand on side
A spectator of your own life
Don't you think it's time
You take a ride

[Chorus]
Why do you go on?
Why do you go on?
You should go for what you wanted all along
Why do you go on?
Why do you go on?
You try to feel it even when it feels so wrong
Instead of just going alone
Why don't you go alone?
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Might have to go, you might have to go alone
[Verse 2]
I want the world to sing along
But I'm not sure I can afford the costs
Without getting lost
I know that there's an easy way
But I'm not sure I'm willing to play
(Not willing to play)
I'm not so good at this game
'Cause I can be

[Pre-Chorus]
Going through the motions
As a ship sets on the oceans
Passing you on by
You stand on side
A spectator of your own life
Don't you think it's time
You take a ride

[Chorus]
Why do you go on?
Why do you go on?
You should go for what you wanted all along
Why do you go on?
Why do you go on?
You try to feel it even when it feels so wrong
Instead of just going alone
Why don't you go alone
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, you might have to go, you might have to go alone
[Bridge]
I'm not saying it will be easy
But what choice do I have?
I'll take hate for being me over love
For being somebody else
So I'll play with the cards
That I have been dealt
And I will play my own game

[Chorus]
Why do you go on?
Why do you go on?
You should go for what you wanted all along
Why do you go on?
Why do you go on?
You try to feel it even when it feels so wrong
Instead of just going alone
Why don't you go alone?
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, you might have to go, you might have to go alone

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Yes, you might have to go, you might have to go alone
