Nice Guy

It happens gradually
And at first I wasn't sure it was on purpose
It becomes our new normal
To be this close
And slowly the lines blur

Didn't know
But that was just the way you wanted it
And you show me all your pain
It might take a while
But steadily the lines blur

Call me in the dead of night crying
You say
That I owe you this
And you'll be dead before you forget
About it

And I still can't recall
At what point the water came to a boil, oh no
Saw the red flags waving
But darling, you look good in red
Tell me, how could I refuse you?
'Cause you stayed by my side, there was nobody else
Saw the red flags waving
But red is my favourite colour

Was it your plan all along to play the nice guy?
And now you think that I'm in debt to you
I have no protection, you're my friend
And I want to make you happy
The line is crossed

Why don't you own up to it?
All the harm you caused
Though I don't think you meant to
It's just something you've learned to do
You've been hurt too

And I still can't recall
At what point the water came to a boil, oh no
Saw the red flags waving
But darling, you look good in red
Tell me, how could I refuse you?
'Cause you stayed by my side, there was nobody else
Saw the red flags waving
But red is my favourite colour

And I still can't recall
At what point the water came to a boil, oh no
Saw the red flags waving
But darling, you look good in red
Tell me, how could I refuse you?
'Cause you stayed by my side, there was nobody else
Saw the red flags waving
But red is my favourite colour

And you never said you're sorry
Are you scared of what I'll say or
Do you simply not care?

Didn't bother to explain it
'Cause I think that you'd be ruined
If you knew what I felt

And I hope you treat her better
Kinda feels like I'm a part of
What you'll do to her
