Remember the me
Dreaming out loud
Walking around delancey
You were rolling a joint
Walking me home
I couldn't afford a taxi
Whoa-oh-oh
It's funny how things can change
But good things are finally coming my way
Remember when I got my first break
Threw a big party in bushwick
Now I'm grabbing the tab
Just 'cause I can
Now you start hating me for it
Whoa-oh-oh
It's funny how things can change
But good things are finally coming my way
So if you can't be happy for me, baby
You can watch from the sidelines
If you can't be happy for me, baby
You can watch from the sidelines
Can't you be happy for me?
Can't you be happy for me?
You can watch from the sidelines
We used to crash every event
Just to hang at the free bar
Now I'm at them alone
You're too stubborn to go
How did we fall so far?
Whoa-oh-oh
It's funny how things can change
But good things are finally coming my way
So if you can't be happy for me, baby
You can watch from the sidelines
If you can't be happy for me, baby
You can watch from the sidelines
Can't you be happy for me?
Can't you be happy for me?
You can watch from the sidelines
I won't choose to choose between my dreams and you
I won't choose to choose between my dreams and you
Why can't you (can't you be happy for me?)
Why can't you (can't you be happy for me?)
'Cause I'd be happy for you
So if you can't be happy for me, baby
You can watch from the sidelines
If you can't be happy for me, baby
You can watch from the sidelines
Can't you be happy for me?
Can't you be happy for me?
You can watch from the sidelines
