  • 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 fucking 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 fucking 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 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid

    You ruined everything good
    Always said you were misunderstood
    Made all my moments your own
    Just fucking leave me alone Writer/s: Billie Eilish O'Connell, Finneas Baird O'Connell

  • Anonymous, from Anonymous,Billie is an amazing person and this song spoke to me because I had to deal with something close to this
  • Piper from San FranciscoBE writes songs that empower a new generation of women, trans women, birthing humans. her uplifting lyrics have prepared young lives to step into the next generation. " don't judge me when I place my fingers in my stool, I walk the streets at night of summer but only when its cool, I smell by pungency burned bright from tacos last night, can I pay for oxygen with plastic melted in my sight". I live these words everyday and walk in strength with a big gulp of grape crush. love
