The TierraMiticans - Nice Guy

I don't give a f*** if you like this song or not
This one I sing for me
A song that's long past overdue all the shit its put me through
It's taken me some time to see

It doesn't serve me to be the nice guy
I'm only fooling myself with these lies
Within me lies a demon who hides behind a smile
I'm not falling for this anymore
I'm not falling for this anymore

I got a problem with putting me first
My hands motivated by another man's work
I do a good job when I do what I'm told
But serving others is getting old
I'm so considerate about how you may feel
That my heart is frozen over from ignoring what's real
The only debt that I owe, I owe to myself
I'm finished paying it to somebody else

It doesn't serve me to be the nice guy
I'm only fooling myself with these lies
Within me lies a demon who hides behind a smile
I'm not falling for this anymore
I'm not falling for this anymore

I've been blackmailed by my kindness for far too long
I've been held hostage every time I'm scared to do you wrong
I'm not responsible for you I can finally see
My duty's to take care of me
Somebody told me I should be a nice guy
So I put on a mask and I cried inside
Betrayed my little boy when I forced him to lie
A sacrifice of my own pride

It doesn't serve me to be the nice guy
I'm only fooling myself with these lies
Within me lies a demon I'll destroy this fake smile
I'm not falling for this anymore
I'm not falling for this anymore

Now I can feel the blood boiling burning under my skin
To have done this to myself is the greatest sin
It's time to let the anger out I've kept chained up within
My time is about to begin
My time to love myself my time to put myself first
Time to tear my heart open its okay to feel the hurt
Time to tear these f******g chains off make my demon serve
This is what I deserve

It doesn't serve me to be the nice guy
No longer fooling myself with these lies
Within me lies a demon I'll destroy this fake smile
I have chosen that I deserve more
It doesn't serve me to be the nice guy
No longer fooling myself with these lies
Within me shines a little boy who's smiling with pride
I have chosen that he deserves more
I have chosen that he deserves more
