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
