[Verse 1]
Built a world all in my mind
All on my own, will I survive? Oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Century of tears
Sadness was my only smile, yeah
So I fall apart
But you're gone and I'm doing fine
I'm screaming out

[Chorus: Charli XCX]
Ooh, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
When you're not around, when you're not around, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
I'll finally cross you out
Ooh, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
When you're not around, when you're not around, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
I'll finally cross you out

[Verse 2]
Melt me down one piece at a time
I had my eyes widе shut
Never realizеd, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Century of tears
Sadness was my only smile, yeah
Thought I'd fall apart
But now you're gone, I'm doing fine
I'm screaming out

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
When you're not around, when you're not around, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
I'll finally cross you out
Ooh, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
When you're not around, when you're not around, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
I'll finally cross you out

[Bridge]
I've become someone better
I've become someone better
Yeah, yeah
Now I look in the mirror
And I love myself better
Yeah, yeah
I've become someone better
I've become someone better
Yeah, yeah
Now I look in the mirror
Feels so good to forget ya
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
When you're not around, when you're not around, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
I'll finally cross you out
Ooh, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
When you're not around, when you're not around, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
I'll finally cross you out
Ooh, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
When you're not around, when you're not around, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
I'll finally cross you out

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
