The Kills - Happier Than Ever 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

To 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?



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

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



You call me again, drunk in your Benz

Driving home under the influence

You scared me to death but I'm wasting my breath

'Cause you only listen to your f*cking friends



I don't relate to you

I don't relate to you, no

'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty

You made me hate this city



And I don't talk shit about you on the internet

Never told anyone anything bad

'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything

And all that you did was make me f*cking 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

Pay any mind for my mother or friends so I

Shut 'em all out so you could feel big



You ruined everything good

Always said you were misunderstood

Made all my moments your own

Just f*cking leave me alone
