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 onI 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 and stalled
I ain't no nice guy after allWhen 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 unsureI 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 allIn all the years you spend between your birth and death
You know there's lots of times when you shouldn't saved your breath
It comes as quite a shock when that trip leads to a fall
I ain't no nice guy after all, I ain't no nice guy after allWhen 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 onI 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 and stalled
I ain't no nice guy after all, I ain't no nice guy after all
