01 - Spent Too Much [Verse 1] Spent too much time tryna to be the "good son," Smile wide, say yes, but nothing ever gets done. Wore Sunday best to impress the wrong crowd — But they still whispered when my prayers fell down Spent too much love on people who'd leave, Held the door open, heart on my sleeve. Used to fix folks with hope and prayer — Now I'm just fixin stuff around here [Chorus] Spent too much on things that never came through— Chasin' gold stars from folks who never knew. Poured out my time like it came free, On people who just needed someone to leave. If life’s a budget, I blew through mine— On loud opinions and believin' lies. Now I’m savin’ up what I’ve got left of my love... 'Cause I spent too much. [Verse 2] Spent too much on bein' "easy to love," On lookin' like peace instead of callin' a bluff. Said "I’m fine" when I wanted to scream— I was a full-grown man still beggin’ to please. Spent too many nights, holdin’ on too tight, Wonderin' why they always took flight. Now I raise a glass to the mess I’ve been— At least now I know what not to spend. [Chorus] Spent too much on things that never gave back— Shrunk myself just to stay on track. Gave out my heart like it came in packs, To people who never gave nothin’ back. If life’s a ledger, mine’s in the red— So I'm keepin' things safe in my head. And I’m done with runnin’ on that kind of love... Yeah, I spent too much. [Bridge] Now I guard my words, I’m choosin’ my time, Got a "no" that’s my peace, and it feels just fine. I ain’t rich in cash, but I’m free at last— No more livin' for the ones who live in the past. [Final Chorus – Full Band Energy] Spent too much on things that never gave back- Shrunk myself just to stay on track. Poured out my soul like a Sunday song, For people who never stayed very long. If life’s a wallet, mine’s worn thin — I’m better broke than knee-deep in sin. Now I laugh when I think of all that stuff… ‘Cause I spent too much. Yeah, I spent too much. "Bold, defiant country anthem with a punchy acoustic guitar, deep brushed snare, and an anthemic bassline. The track strikes with melancholy yet empowering energy, painting a picture of life spent on unreturned love and effort. Mid-tempo with raw, honest lyrics that hit hard with self-awareness, while the powerful chorus swells with a sense of personal growth. Melodic steel guitar sways through the bridge, reinforcing the theme of freedom and reclaiming self-worth. Perfect for those who’ve learned to stop shrinking for others, Spent Too Much cuts deep."

Wore nice shoes to impress folks at church— But they still whispered when my prayers didn’t work. Spent too much love on people who dipped, Held the door open just to watch 'em quit. Tried to fix hearts with duct tape and grace— Now I just fix stuff around the place. [Chorus] I spent too much on things that don’t give change— Like winnin’ gold stars from folks who never stayed. Poured out my time like sweet iced tea, On people who just needed someone to leave. If life’s a budget, I blew through mine— On loud opinions and silent goodbyes. Now I’m savin’ up what I’ve got left of my luck… 'Cause I spent too much. [Verse 2] Spent too much on bein’ “easy to love,” On lookin’ like peace instead of callin’ a bluff. Said “I’m fine” when I wanted to scream— I was a full-grown man still beggin’ to please. Spent too many nights wonderin’ why The ones I held tight were first to fly. Now I raise a glass to the mess I’ve been— At least now I know what not to spend. [Chorus] I spent too much on things that don’t give change— Like keepin’ the peace and takin’ the blame. Gave out my heart like it came in packs, To people who never gave nothin’ back. If life’s a ledger, mine’s in the red— But at least I come home to love instead. And I’m done with runnin’ on that kind of luck… Yeah, I spent too much. [Bridge] (musical break or singable bridge) Now I budget my words, I guard my time, Got a “no” that I use, and it feels just fine. I ain’t rich in cash, but I’m free at last— No more livin’ for the ones who live in the past. [Final Chorus – full band energy] I spent too much on things that don’t give change— Like shrinkin’ down just to fit in frame. Poured out my soul like a Saturday song, For people who never stayed very long. If life’s a wallet, mine’s worn thin— But I’d do it all over just not to pretend. Now I laugh when I think of all that stuff… ‘Cause I spent too much. Yeah, I spent too much.
