[Chorus] When I'm away from you I'm happier than ever Wish I could explain it better I wish it wasn't true [Verse 1] Give me a day or two to think of something clever To write myself a letter To tell me what to do, mm-mm Do you read my interviews? Or do you skip my avenue? When you said you were passin' through Was I even on your way? I knew when I asked you to (When I asked you to) Be cool about what I was tellin' 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 werеn't aware that you made me misеrable So if you really wanna know [Chorus] When I'm away from you (When I'm away from you) I'm happier than ever (Happier than ever) Wish I could explain it better (Wish I could explain it better) I wish it wasn't true, mm-mm [Verse 2] You call me again, drunk in your Benz Drivin' home under the influence You scared me to death, but I'm wastin' my breath 'Cause you only listen to your fuckin' friends I don't relate to you I don't relate to you, no 'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty You made me hate this city [Verse 3] And I don't talk shit about you on the internet Never told anyone anything bad 'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything And all that you did was make me fuckin' 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 Just fuckin' leave me alone, yeah (Fuck you) (Ah) (Goddamn) (Ah) (Fuck you) (Fuck you) [Verse 4] Tried to fix what was broken, but it’s fucking fallen apart, Played the part, broke my heart, now I’m torn apart, Every memory’s a scar, still feel the pain, Wish I could erase the past, start again. [Verse 5] You said forever, but you left me in the rain, Drowning in the words, caught in the fucking blame, Now I’m picking up the pieces of my shattered pride, Learning to live with the hurt I can’t hide. [Verse 6] Thought I knew your soul, but I was fucking blind, Caught in your lie, losing my mind, Now I see the truth, it’s clearer than before, I’ll walk away, close that fucking door, and heal once more. [Bridge] Maybe someday, we’ll look back and understand, But right now, I gotta fucking take a stand, Free myself from the chains of what we used to be, Finding strength in what’s left of me. [Chorus] When I'm away from you (When I'm away from you) I'm happier than ever (Happier than ever) Wish I could explain it better (Wish I could explain it better) I wish it wasn't true, mm-mm
