The Nice Guy

I almost thought I made you up
Didn't think that I was good enough
I should've known
I should have known

But everything was perfect, felt
A love affair unparalleled
The story goes
The story goes

But you were playing games with me
Hid your true colors, let me seek
Was that all I was back then
An arcade prize for you to win

So cross your T's
And dot your I's
And try to sound sincere this time
Convincing everyone that you're still the nice guy
Fool me once
And fool me twice
Look past me as I start to cry
I should've seen all along that you weren't the nice guy

I still wish I could forget
The face you made right as you left
Me alone
All alone

It was cold and hard and grey
Like the pavement as you drove away
Made out of stone
Out of stone

But you were playing games with me
Hid your true colors, let me seek
Beneath the charm and Christmas lights
You really weren't the nicest guy

So cross your T's
And dot your I's
And try to sound sincere this time
Convincing everyone that you're still the nice guy
Fool me once
And fool me twice
Look past me as I start to cry
I should've seen all along that you weren't the nice guy

You moved like clockwork
Your cold words
Cut clean
You were well practiced
Silently laughing
At me

So cross your T's
And dot your I's
And try to sound sincere this time
Convincing everyone that you're still the nice guy
Fool me once
And fool me twice
Look past me as I start to cry
I should've seen all along that you weren't the nice guy
