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 and stalled
I ain´t no nice guy after all

When I was young
I was the nicest guy 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 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 spent
Between your birth and death
You find there´s lots of times
When you should have saved your breath
It comes as quite a shock
When that trip leads to the fall
I ain´t no nice guy after all
I ain´t no nice guy after all

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 moon´s the only light
I thought about the times
I turned my back and stalled
I ain´t no nice guy after all
I ain´t no nice guy after all
