When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I 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, mm-mm
Do you read my interviews
Or do you skip my avenue
When you said that you were passin' through
Was I even on your way
I knew 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
And I'd end up more afraid
Don't say it isn't fair
You clearly weren't aware
That you made me miserable
So if you really wanna know
When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true
You called 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 friends
I don't relate to you, no
I don't relate to you
'Cause I'd never treat me this
I get it, you hate this city
And I don't talk about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
'Cause that embarrassing, you were my everything
And all that you did was make me 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 just like a kid
You ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Just leave me alone, yeah
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
