[Verse]
On paper I’m a masterpiece
In reality
A broken lease
I smile but it hides the cracks
They read my lines
Then turn their backs
[Prechorus]
Kindness carved into my chest
A bleeding heart
An empty jest
[Chorus]
I’m the nice guy with a heart of gold
But the world’s too sharp
Too cold
Yeah I always finish last
Running slow
The future’s past
I’m the nice guy
Yeah
The one you pass
[Verse 2]
They take my hand
They take my time
Turn my kindness into grime
A weakness
They say
A joke to play
But my soul’s not theirs to fray
[Prechorus]
Every bruise becomes a map
A treasure lost
A hidden trap
[Chorus]
I’m the nice guy with a heart of gold
But the world’s too sharp
Too cold
Yeah I always finish last
Running slow
The future’s past
I’m the nice guy
Yeah
The one you pass
