[Chorus]
           
When I'm away 

from you
              
I'm happier th

   
an ever

't true-ue-ue-

  
--ue
           
Give me a day 

or two
              
To think of so

       
mething clever
              
To write mysel

    
f a letter
              
To tell me wha

             
t to do-o-o---

       
o-o-o---o


[Verse 1]
   
Do you read my

 interviews
   
Or do you skip

 my avenue?
     
When you said 

you were passi

ng through
            
Was I even on 

      
your way?
  
I knew when I 

asked you to
   
Be cool about 

what I was tel

ling you
      
You'd do the o

pposite of wha

t you said you

'd do
            
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 misera

     
ble, uhhh
             
So if you real

         
ly wanna know


[Chorus]
          
When I'm away 

from you
              
I'm happier th

   
an ever
              
Wish I could e

         
xplain it bett
