happier than ever

Shawn Mendes

[Chorus]
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
Be cool about what I was tellin' you
You'd do the opposite of 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
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true
[Intermission]

[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 care about your
I don't relate to you
No, I don't relate to you, no
'Cause I'd never treat me this -y
You make me hate this city

[Verse 3]
And I don't talk - about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
'Cause that -s embarrassing, and you were my everything
All that you did was make me - 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 them all out for you 'cause I was a kid

[Outro]
And you ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Just - leave me alone
