"Happier Than Ever (Orchestral Version)" lyrics

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
Maybe write myself a letter
To tell me what to do
Do you read my interviews?
Or do you skip my avenue?
When you said you were passing through
Was I even on your way?
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 call me again, alone in your Benz
But you never take back those things, that you said
You scared me to death, but I'm wasting my breath
'Cause you only listen to all of your friends
I don't relate to you
I don't relate to you
'Cause I'd never do what you did to me
You made me hate this city

And I don't even talk about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
'Cause that just embarrassing, you were my everything
And all that you did was make me so 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

You ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Won't you just leave me alone
