Lirik Lagu I Think I Like You Better When You’re Gone - Reneé Rapp

I know that I'm supposed to miss you and wish that you were here
But the more I drink, the more I think you might just disappear
I got a funny feeling, funny feeling something's wrong
I think I like you better, I think I like you better when you're

Out of sight, out of mind
Even wore that shit that you don't like
Had a little fun, got a little drunk
And it didn't kill nobody, right?
One week until you get back
Admit that it makes me sad
Counting down the days in different ways, mm

I know that I'm supposed to miss you and wish that you were here
But the more I drink, the more I think you might just disappear
I got a funny feeling, funny feeling something's wrong
I think I like you better, I think I like you better when you're gone

Mm
I think I like you better, I think I like you better when you're

Across the f*cking country
Three thousand miles away
Three time zones from my face, and
We're packing two different bags
Admit that it makes me sad
Counting down the days in different ways (mm)

I know that I'm supposed to miss you and wish that you were here (I wish that you were)
But the more I drink, the more I think you might just disappear (might just disappear)
I got a funny feeling, funny feeling something's wrong
I think I like you better, I think I like you better when you're gone

Mm
I think I like you better, I think I like you better when you're gone
Mm-hm, mm
I think I like you better, I think I like you better when you're gone
