[Chorus]
When I'm away from you
I’m happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true (Wish it wasn't true)
Give me a day or two
To think of something clever, to write myself a letter
To tell me what to do

[Verse 1]
Do you read my interviews? (Interviews)
Or do you skip my avenue? (Avenue)
When you said you were passin’ through (Passing through)
Was I even on your way?
I knew when I asked you to (Asked you to)
Be cool about what I was tellin' you (Telling you)
You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do (What you said you'd do)
And I'd end up more afraid
Don't say it isn't fair
You clearly weren’t aware that you made me misеrable
If you really wanna know

[Chorus]
When I’m away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn’t true, ahh
I'm happier than ever
[Verse 2]
You called me again, drunk in your Benz
Driving home under the influence
You scared me to death, but I'm wastin' my breath
’Cause you only listen to your stupid-
I don't relate to you
I don't relate to you, no
'Cause this is a pity
You made me hate this city!
And I don't talk --- about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
'Cause that's just embarrassing, you were my everything
And all that you did was make me very sad
So don't waste the time I don't have
And don't try to make me feel bad
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends, so I
Shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid

[Outro]
You ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Will you just leave me alone?
I'm happier than ever, I'm happier than ever
I'm happier than ever, I'm happier than ever
I'm happier, so much happier
When I'm away from you
