a nice person

you want me to be jealous, you want to break my heart
takes me back to when i wasn’t smart
i saw the light in you in your darker days
i hope you shine so bright it takes everyone’s darkness away

I’m sorry I couldn’t be it for you
I’m sorry I couldn’t be the one

and when you curse my name and pierce at me through a doll
I’ll be telling myself to bless you because
I kicked you out of my heart
so take me in yours again (or for once)

nothing left to say
nothing left to say

i try to be a nice person
i try to be nice

but honestly i hate you when you’re ignorant
thinking it was only me at fault
grind my teeth to stop myself from taking revenge,
it takes a bit
don’t want to show my tail again

it hurts when you’re someone i appreciated
and if we’re coming full circle

I’ll try to be a good person
I’ll try to be a good person

I try, and you
I see you taking my apology and calling me a clown
you’ve called me a million other nicknames

nothing left to say
nothing left to say

you want me to be jealous, you want to break my heart
i remember when i was as dumb

I try to be a nice person
I try to be a nice person, but
