Nice Girls Finish Last

I don't remember how we first met,
but I know I wasn't ready to lose you quite yet.

I had my doubts right from the start,
but I still ended up letting you into my heart.

I didn't want to get hurt again or make a mistake,
but I felt like giving you a chance wasn't much of a risk to make.

You knew just what to say
whenever I had a bad day.

You knew how to make me smile,
and you made every day worthwhile.

You knew how to hold me close and tight,
and when I was with you, everything felt right.

The thoughts and doubts in the back of my mind started to go away.
I started to trust the idea that you would stay.

I made myself vulnerable to you,
and you made my worst nightmare come true.

I think you knew all along that it wouldn't last.
Everything started and ended so fast.

I just wish it wouldn't hurt so bad,
and that I wasn't so mad.

If you like someone enough,
you stay with them even when it gets tough.

I'm tired of all of the excuses and the whole it's better this way,
your heart isn't the one that had to pay.

I don't regret spending time with you,
but I wish from the beginning you would've thought things through.

You knew I was going away and that we would have to be apart,
so why if you weren't ready for that did you let everything start?

Things can work out if you want them to,
but I guess I didn't mean that much to you.

I was ready to give it my all,
I never thought you would be the one to let me fall.

Who knows what would've happened but I wish you would've wanted to see.
It hurts that you didn't even want to take a chance with me.

Things will get better and the pain will go away,
but it's going to be awhile before that day.

You made me so happy, I forgot you could make me sad.
You made things seem so good, I forgot how quickly everything could turn bad.

I hope you realize what you've done,
and that I wasn't in this just for fun.

I hope we can be friends and still talk too,
but it's going to take some time for my heart to figure out what to do.

I hope you'll never forget what you've put me through,
and how you let me down by doing what I thought wasn't possible from you.

And don't ever tell me that nice guys always finish last
because you pushed a girl who wanted to be with you into your past.
