Nice Guys

We raced every day
And you'd tie up my shoes
Using the smooth subtle ways
His fingers laced up all the loops
That I started to fall on my face
And saw what everyone already knew

Eating dirt every day
Sometimes he'd eat some too
To show me it's all just a game
To fall as much as I do
And I'm used to accepting the blame
So everything stays the same

When I love Mr. Nice Guy
Feels like once in a lifetime
And he loves his vices
But I love Mr. Nice Guy

The bullet is shot in the sky
The voice of a gun and the smooth talk
Can take a lap one more time
On my injuries for him, I will try
Can't open my eyes as I'm blinded
By the gaslight that he shines so politely

Mr. Nice Guy
He loves what I like as an exercise
And he cheats and he cheats, but I let it slide right by
Mr. Nice Guy and I

Raced every day
Every day I would lose
'Cause of the smooth subtle ways
He double-knotted my shoes

Delays to win me over for the chase
Wake up, untie the laces
I can't make it nauseated
Can't believe I dated Mr. Nice Guy
Fuck you and fuck your kind

When I love Mr. Nice Guy
Feels like once in a lifetime
And he loves his vices
But I love Mr. Nice Guy

When I love Mr. Nice Guy
Feels like once in a lifetime
And he loves his vices
But I love Mr. Nice Guy

Forgetting his mistakes but his attention doesn't stay
And I'm tired of trying to not believe I'm easy to replace
I can go at my own pace when I decide to run away
Nice guys never last cause nice guys finish fast
