I Ain't No Nice Guy

When I was young

I was the nicest guy I knew

I thought I was the chosen one

But time went by

And I found out a thing or two

My shine wore off as time wore on



I thought that I was living

Out the perfect life

But in the lonely hours

When the truth begins to bite

I thought about the times when

I turned my back & stalled



I ain't no nice guy after all...



When I was young

I was the only game in town

I thought I had it down for sure,

But time went by

And I was lost in what I found

The reasons blurred, the way unsure

I thought that

I was living life the only way

But as I saw that life

Was more than day to day

I turned around,

I read the writing on the wall



I ain't no nice guy after all

I ain't no nice guy after all



In all the years you spend

Between your birth and death

You find there's lots of times

You should have saved your breath

It comes as quite a shock

When that trip leads to fall



I ain't no nice guy after all

I ain't no nice guy after all



When I was young

I was the nicest guy

I thought I was the chosen one

But time went by

And I found out a thing or two

My shine wore off as time wore on



I thought that I was living

Out the perfect life

But in the lonely hours

When the truth begins to bite

I thought about the times when

I turned my back & stalled



I ain't no nice guy after all

I ain't no nice guy after all
