lyrics
“I wanna fall in love again” she said
“Open up my arms and lose my”
Heading for some sensitive talk
I know she needs someone to listen
She’s longing for a total change in scene
Abandon all this gray for somewhere
Green were her eyes and deft was her smile
At augering through all my defenses
There she was staring back at me but I’m only Mr nice guy
She’s always had the upper hand
I promised I would never do this again but denial, and fanciful lies
Are better than knowing that she’ll never want me
There she was staring back at me but I’m only Mr Nice Guy and that’s all I’ll ever be
I’ve been wanting to say that I see my future in your eyes
You make me wanna believe in all of my dreams and my desires
But you only see me as someone who’s a friend it’s platonic,
It’s not fair if I’m honest
Here’s my shoulder, roll me over, only Mr nice guy
I've got this feeling inside that says all of what I can’t
I try to put it to words but they pale in my hands
So I’ll just sit here and smile and pretend while you vent
Knowing that all of this time you thought of me as just a friend
“Open up my arms and lose my”
Heading for some sensitive talk
I know she needs someone to listen
She’s longing for a total change in scene
Abandon all this gray for somewhere
Green were her eyes and deft was her smile
At augering through all my defenses
There she was staring back at me but I’m only Mr nice guy
She’s always had the upper hand
I promised I would never do this again but denial, and fanciful lies
Are better than knowing that she’ll never want me
There she was staring back at me but I’m only Mr Nice Guy and that’s all I’ll ever be
I’ve been wanting to say that I see my future in your eyes
You make me wanna believe in all of my dreams and my desires
But you only see me as someone who’s a friend it’s platonic,
It’s not fair if I’m honest
Here’s my shoulder, roll me over, only Mr nice guy
I've got this feeling inside that says all of what I can’t
I try to put it to words but they pale in my hands
So I’ll just sit here and smile and pretend while you vent
Knowing that all of this time you thought of me as just a friend
