[Verse 1]
You wait outside my workplace in the rain
Coffee in your hand, acting like it’s nothing
You know my order, know my middle name
Know when I’m lying when I say I’m functioning
You kiss my forehead at the traffic lights
Tell me I deserve the world and mean it
And every single time you hold me right
I hate myself a little more for needing
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone else inside my head
Every time you pull me in
[Chorus]
You’re a nice boy
That’s the worst part
No slammed doors, no smoking gun
Just a good heart
And I should love you
Like you love me
But there’s a girl-shaped shadow
Living underneath
Every “I miss you”
Every late-night call
You’re a nice boy
You just met me at the wrong time, that’s all
[Verse 2]
She laughs and suddenly the room turns gold
Like all the air changes when she’s in it
I memorize the stories that she told
Replay her voice like it’s a song unfinished
And you still ask me how my day has been
Still tell your friends that I’m your future
While I’m sitting there beside you on the couch
Wondering if she could ever love me too
[Pre-Chorus]
You look at me like I’m enough
While I’m somewhere else again
[Chorus]
You’re a nice boy
That’s the worst part
No broken glass, no cheating scars
Just a pure heart
And I should want you
The way I try to
But there’s a girl in every corner
Of the life we built
Every slow dance
Every bedroom wall
You’re a nice boy
You just loved me at the wrong time, that’s all
[Bridge]
Maybe in another life
I never met her eyes
Maybe then your name would sound
Like home instead of guilt tonight
And I know you’d take a bullet for me
God, I wish that could be enough
But you can’t compete with a feeling
I never asked for
[Verse 3]
So now I count the silence after calls
And stare too long when your name flashes
You say “forever” like it isn’t sharp
Like it doesn’t cut me where the truth is
Because you deserve a kind of love
That doesn’t hesitate in darkness
And I deserve to stop pretending
My heart isn’t already somewhere else
[Final Chorus]
You’re a nice boy
And I mean it
You gave me everything you had
I just couldn’t keep it
So if I lose you
I understand
‘Cause loving me was holding water
In your hands
And I’ll still think of
Everything we were
You’re a nice boy
I’m just not the right girl anymore
