You've got your leather jacket and your faded light
Blue jeans on tighter than I've ever seen
Looks like you've walked off a movie screen
Where you've been breaking hearts just like The Wolverine
Want to kiss you but I'm afraid of those teeth
Bite off my tongue so I can't speak
Always end up turning the other cheek
Well I guess that's why I'm so lonely
But I'm sick of being the nice guy
I'll give you my coat when it's cold outside
Yeah, I'm so sick of always being the nice guy
It's a phase that I haven't got over
I'll try, yeah I'll try
The bar was packed, the band's playing
Billie Jean and that song from that movie you like
It's only 2:00am but you're already
Down… to call it a night
Really think that you don't like me
Well I'm sorry, if I'm just too polite
Really wish that I could be an asshole
Blame my Mum, she's the one who raised me right
But I'm sick of being the nice guy
I'll give you my coat when it's cold outside
Yeah, I'm so sick of always being the nice guy
It's a phase I still haven't got over
I'll try, yeah I'll try
But if this is love
I'd rather feel the indifference of
Your cold stare hiding, behind your blonde curly hair
At least I'm trying, not like you even care at all
Cuz I'm sick of being the nice guy
I fucking hate you but I'll still say hi
Cuz I'm so sick of always being the nice guy
It's a phase I still haven't got over
I'll try, yeah I'll try
Well I'm sick of being the nice guy
Give me back my coat, cuz it's cold outside
Yeah I'm so sick of always being the nice guy
It's a phase that I never got over
I'll try, yeah I'll try
