Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Help me, for I lost my way
I forgot how goodness tastes
I was kind, I was great
I was a nice guy
I was a nice guy
[Verse 2]
I used to know how to hurt
I used to know how to love
It's simple stuff but now I can't remember
I used to laugh all the time
And now I'm askin' why
[Verse 3]
Why it's so hard to be a
Why it's so hard to be a nice guy
Coulda had a nice life
Friendly just went out of style
[Verse 4]
Why it's so hard to be a nice guy
Coulda had a nice life
I can't even fake a smile
Why it's so hard to be a
[Verse 5]
Yeah, I forgot how good it felt to hold a hand
Yeah, I forgot how good it felt to have a friend
Walkin' in the park, stayin' in till dark
Now I just stay at home, countin' business cards
[Verse 6]
I used to know how to hurt
I used to know how to love
It's simple stuff but now I can't remember
I used to laugh all the time
But now I'm askin' why
[Verse 7]
Why it's so hard to be a
Why it's so hard to be a nice guy
Coulda had a nice life
Friendly just went out of style
[Verse 8]
Why it's so hard to be a nice guy
Coulda had a nice life
I can't even fake a smile
Why it's so hard to be a
[Verse 9]
A nice guy
A nice guy
A nice guy
