When I was young I was the nicest guy I knew <br />I thought I was the chosen one <br />But time went by and I found out a thing or two <br />My shine wore off as time wore on <br />I thought that I was living out the perfect life <br />But in the lonely hours when the truth begins to bite <br />I thought about the times when I turned my back & stalled <br /><br />I ain't no nice guy after all <br /><br />When I was young I was the only game in town <br />I thought I had it down for sure, <br />But time went by and I was lost in what I found <br />The reasons blurred, the way unsure <br />I thought that I was living life the only way <br />But as I saw that life was more than day to day <br />I turned around, I read the writing on the wall <br /><br />I ain't no nice guy after all <br />I ain't no nice guy after all <br /><br />In all the years you spend between your birth and death <br />You find there's lots of times you should have saved your breath <br />It comes as quite a shock when that trip leads to fall
