Mr. Nice Guy

For years I've been striving

To make an art outta hiding

Smile real big

Like I'm doing alright

Pristine on the outside

But inside I'm dying

Trying too hard

To prove I'm fine

Can't stay

This way

No more

No more Mr. Nice Guy

Welcome to the new me

Taking off my disguise

Chasing something risky

No more Mr. Nice Guy

I'm a grown-up now

Got a house and a family

"Better safe than sorry" ringing in my ears

Right about now I need to break out

To be what you made me

Free from lies, free from fear

No more Mr. Nice Guy

Welcome to the new me

Taking off my disguise

Chasing something risky

I never knew it could just be me

Now I'm never going back

To what I used to be

What a relief it is to be free

Now I'm never going back

To what I used to be

Nice guy

Nothing more risky than living risk free

Staying in the lines never gave us Sistines

Rather lose life than waste it

Keep the combination

No more playing it safe, kid

Second rate you or a first rate me

Rate me, rank me, praise hate me but KB

I'm living for what He would say

Only gonna be one me today

The one that's freed with grace

What did Needham say?

No more Mr. Nice Guy

Welcome to the new me

Taking off my disguise

Chasing something risky

I never knew it could just be me

Now I'm never going back

To what I used to be

What a relief it is to be free

Now I'm never going back

To what I used to be

Nice guy
