Nice try

Nice Try

Verse 1

You said you knew what was best for me,

Tried to decide who I’d be.

Told me who I could date, who I could trust,

Like my whole life belonged to you, not us.

Got mad over things that weren’t that deep,

Turned little problems into weeks.

Had me feeling like I couldn’t do anything right,

Always finding a reason to start a fight.

Pre-Chorus

I spent so long trying to make you stay,

Now I’m glad you walked away.

Chorus

Nice try, nice try,

You almost had me believing all your lies.

You said my boyfriend was the bad one,

Said he’d hurt me and then be gone.

But you’re the ones who tore me down,

While he’s the one still around.

Now I know what real love feels like,

So nice try… but goodbye.

Verse 2

Keira and Emmett, remember that call?

Thought it was funny watching me fall.

You said, “I don’t mean to cause drama,” then did,

Acting innocent after everything you hid.

You’d tell me who I could be friends with,

Who I should leave, who didn’t fit.

Every choice I made got judged somehow,

But you don’t get to control me now.

You made me feel low, made me doubt my worth,

Like I had to earn my place on this earth.

But the people around me now help me see,

The problem was never me.

Pre-Chorus

The truth gets louder over time,

And now your voice doesn’t live in my mind.

Chorus

Nice try, nice try,

You almost had me believing all your lies.

You said my boyfriend was the bad one,

But you got that story all wrong.

When everything started falling apart,

He stayed and helped heal my heart.

Now I know what healthy love looks like,

So nice try… but goodbye.

Bridge

Funny how you think you can come back now,

Like nothing happened somehow.

But trust isn’t something you break and replace,

You can’t just erase what you did and say.

I’ve got better people in my life today,

The kind that help instead of getting in the way.

The kind that cheer when I succeed,

And don’t make me feel small when I’m in need.

Final Chorus

Nice try, nice try,

But I’m stronger than I was that night.

You don’t get to rewrite history,

Or pretend you’re still a part of me.

I’ve got real friends by my side,

A healthy love I don’t have to hide.

You were wrong about him, wrong about me,

And now I’m finally free.

Outro

So here’s the ending of your story line,

You lost your place when you crossed mine.

No hard feelings, no more fights,

Just one last thing—

Nice try. 🎵❤️
