I Aint 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
