[Chorus]
     
When I'm away 

from you

To think of so

[Verse 1]

  Do you read 

my interviews?
   
Or do you skip

 my avenue?
     
When you said 

you were passi

n' through
      
Was I even on 

your way?
   
I knew when I 

asked you to (

When I asked y

ou to)
    
Be cool about 

what I was tel

lin' you
      
You'd do the o

pposite of wha

t you said you

'd do (What yo

u said you'd d

o)
       
And I'd end up

 more afraid
              
Don't say it i

 
sn't fair
              
You clearly we

              
ren't aware th

            
at you made me

      
 miserable, oo

So if you real

[Chorus]
         
When I'm away 

from you (When

 I'm away from

 you)
              
I'm happier th

    
an ever (I'm h

appier than ev

er)
              
Wish I could e

ld explain it 

better)
              
I wish it wasn
