"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-mmm

Do you read my interviews?

Or do you skip my avenue?

When you said you were passing through

Was I even on your way?

I knew when I asked you to

Be cool about what I was 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 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, mmm-hmm..."
