The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now you're spending all your money on the things you don't need
When all that really makes you happy are the things you can't see
Our shit shouldn't be this hard, you know that love is for free
So come and spend a little time on me
Remember how we used to be
Remember how we used to be
Tell me, tell me how you're really feeling
It used to be so good between us
I won't tell your mama or your brother or your cousin or no one else
When did shit become so complicated?
I know what you're going through
This can't be serious
I must be delirious
Now you're spending all your money on the things you don't need
When all that really makes you happy are the things you can't see
Our shit shouldn't be this hard, you know that love is for free
So come and spend a little time on me
Remember how we used to
Tell me, tell me how you're really doing
Did you graduate? Did you make it out-of-state?
How's your sister? Do you miss her?
Do you miss me or someone else?
Tell me when the future got so faded
Where do you think we're going, me and you?
This is serious
And I feel delirious
Now you're spending all your money on the things you don't need
When all that really makes you happy are the things you can't see
Our shit shouldn't be this hard, you know that love is for free
So come and spend a little time on me
Remember how we used to be
(How you spend your time)
(How you spend your time)
(How you spend your time)
(How you spend your time)
Remember how we used to be
(How you spend your time)
(How you spend your time)
Remember how we used to be
Now you're spending all your money on the things you don't need
When all that really makes you happy are the things you can't see
Our shit shouldn't be this hard, you know that love is for free
So come and spend a little time on me
Remember how we used to be
