Happier Than Ever
Unveiling Emotional Liberation: Happier Without You
Lyrics
When I'm away from you, I'm happier than ever
Expressing that being away from the person brings happiness.
Wish I could explain it better
Desire to communicate the feeling more effectively.
I wish it wasn't true
Expressing a wish that the happiness from being apart wasn't true.
Give me a day or two to think of something clever
Asking for time to come up with a clever explanation or solution.
To write myself a letter
Planning to write a letter to oneself for guidance.
To tell me what to do, mm-mmm
Desire for self-guidance on what to do.
Do you read my interviews?
Asking if the person reads interviews, seeking connection.
Or do you skip my avenue? (My avenue)
Questioning if the person avoids their path or presence.
When you (when you) said you were passing through
Recalling when the person claimed to be passing through.
Was I even on your way?
Doubting if the speaker was even considered in the person's plans.
I knew when I asked you to (when I asked you to)
Anticipating the person's failure to be cool about disclosed information.
Be cool about what I was telling you
Reflecting on the request for composure regarding shared details.
You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do (what you said you'd do)
Expectation of the person doing the opposite of promised actions.
And I'd end up more afraid
Fearful of the consequences and feeling more afraid.
Don't say it isn't fair
Asserting that it is unfair, addressing the person's lack of awareness.
You clearly weren't aware that you made me miserable
Highlighting the person's role in making the speaker miserable.
So if you really wanna know
Inviting inquiry into the feeling when away from the person.
When I'm away from you (when I'm away from you)
Reiterating the happiness experienced when apart.
I'm happier than ever (happier than ever)
Reaffirming the elevated state of happiness when distant.
Wish I could explain it better (wish I could explain it better)
Expressing a desire for better communication about the emotions.
I wish it wasn't true (wish it wasn't true), mmm-mmm
Wishing the happiness from being apart wasn't a reality.
You call me again, drunk in your Benz
Describing a situation where the person calls while intoxicated.
Driving home under the influence
Detailing the person's risky behavior while driving under the influence.
You scared me to death, but I'm wasting my breath
Expressing fear caused by the person's actions, questioning their impact.
'Cause you only listen to your fucking friends
Noting that the person values the opinions of friends over the speaker's.
I don't relate to you
Declaring a lack of connection with the person due to mistreatment.
I don't relate to you, no
Reaffirming the lack of relation with the person.
'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty
Rejecting the mistreatment and asserting self-worth.
You made me hate this city
Attributing negative emotions and disdain for the city to the person.
And I don't talk shit about you on the internet
Claiming not to speak negatively about the person online.
Never told anyone anything bad
Emphasizing the non-disclosure of negative information to others.
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
Recalling the person being everything and the embarrassment of their actions.
And all that you did was make me fucking sad
Conveying the sadness caused by the person's actions.
So don't waste the time I don't have
Advising against wasting the limited time available.
And don't try to make me feel bad
Rejecting attempts to induce guilt.
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
Highlighting the person's consistent failure to be punctual.
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
Emphasizing the absence of positive actions from the person.
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends
Noting the disregard for the speaker's family and friends.
So I shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid
Isolating oneself from others due to loyalty to the person in the past.
You ruined everything good
Accusing the person of destroying everything positive.
Always said you were misunderstood
Addressing the person's claim of being misunderstood.
Made all my moments your own
Accusing the person of appropriating and dominating shared moments.
Just fucking leave me alone
Explicitly expressing the desire for solitude and separation.
