Billie Eilish - happier than ever lyrics

The title track from Billie Eilish's sophomore album, Happier Than Ever, was originally revealed in the documentary The World's a Little Blurry, which premiered in February 2021. Eilish has this to say about the song in a documentary clip:

The entire song is more like nothing specific that they did, and you're simply not thrilled to be around them. I'm at a loss for words.

The film's director, RJ Cutler, stated in a February 2021 interview on Billie's documentary, The World's a Little Blurry, that the unreleased songs included in the documentary may wind up on Billie's album:

...and you see them crafting material that you might hear on a later album.

Happier Than Ever Lyrics

[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 (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 (What you said you'd do)

And I'd end up more afraid

Don't say it isn't fair

You clearly werеn't aware that you made me misеrable

So if you really wanna know

[Chorus]

When I'm away from you (When I'm away from you)

I'm happier than ever (Happier than ever)

Wish I could explain it better (Wish I could explain it better)

I wish it wasn't true, mm-mm

[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 listen to your fuckin' 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

[Verse 3]

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 fuckin' 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

[Outro]

You ruined everything good

Always said you were misunderstood

Made all my moments your own

Just fuckin' leave me alone, yeah (Fuck you)

(Ah)

(Goddamn)

(Ah)

(Fuck you)

(Fuck you)
