When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true
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 weren't aware that you made me miserable
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
As ik fan jo ôf bin
Ik bin lokkiger dan ea
Winskje dat ik it better koe ferklearje
Ik winskje dat it net wier wie
[Verse 1]
Jou my in dei as twa om te tinken oan wat tûk
Om mysels in brief te skriuwen
Om my te fertellen wat te dwaan, MM-mm
Lêze jo myn ynterviews?
Of oerslaan jo myn avenue?
Doe't jo seine dat jo trochgongen wiene
Wie ik sels op jo wei?
Ik wist doe't ik jo frege om (doe't ik jo frege hat)
Wês cool oer wat ik jo fertelde
Jo soene it tsjinoerstelde dwaan fan wat jo seine dat jo dwaan (wat jo seine dat jo soene dwaan)
En ik soe mear bang wêze
Sis net dat it net earlik is
Jo wiene dúdlik net bewust dat jo my mislik makken
Dus as jo wirklik wolle witte
[Koar]
As ik fan jo ôf bin (as ik fan jo ôf bin)
Ik bin lokkiger dan ea (lokkiger dan ea)
Winskje dat ik it better koe ferklearje (winskje dat ik it better koe ferklearje)
Ik winskje dat it net wier wie, MM-MM
[VERSE 2]
Jo skilje my wer, dronken yn jo Benz
Drivin 'thús ûnder ynfloed
Jo hawwe my bang om dea, mar ik bin myn azem út
Want jo harkje allinich nei jo fuckin 'freonen
Ik ha jo net relatearre
Ik haw jo net relatearre, nee
Want soe ik my dizze shitty noait behannelje
Do makkest my dat ik dizze stêd haatsje
[Verse 3]
En ik praat net mei jo op it ynternet
Hat noait ien min ferteld
Feroarsaakje dat de ferlegen fan 'e shit, jo wiene myn alles
En alles wat jo diene wie my misdied
Dus fergrieme net de tiid dat ik net haw
En besykje my net min te meitsjen
Ik koe oer elke kear prate oer elke kear dat jo op tiid sjen lieten
Mar ik soe in lege line hawwe, om't jo it noait diene
Nea betelle oan myn mem as freonen
Dat ik slút se allegear út foar jo, om't ik in bern wie
[OUTRO]
Jo hawwe alles goed ferwoaste
Altyd sein dat jo ferkeard begrepen wiene
Makke al myn mominten jo eigen
Gewoan fuckin 'lit my allinich
