Not That Nice

You laughed at my jokes like I mattered
We shared secrets over half-eaten platters
Every lunch break, every late event
Felt like a movie I didn't know how it'd end
You said you cared, that you'd never let go
That I was different, and I started to hope
So I took a breath and crossed the line
Told you my heart, you said"not this time"
You said it's not me, you just needed space
Then you turned around and found his embrace
But you're not that nice to be with nice
Guess the truth cuts colder than your lies
Said you weren't ready, then proved me wrong
So I tried again yeah, I held on
You smiled at the bear, at the note I wrote
Then said the line that sunk my boat"I'm not that nice to be with nice"
Now I'm erasing you from my life
I still see us laughing in the hallway light
But those memories don't feel right
You held my trust like it weighed too much
Dropped it twice and called it love
I replay that ride home on the bus
Thought maybe this time you'd choose us
But your words hit like a silent goodbye
And I learned the truth staring at the sky
I was too kind, too soft, too real
And you were the scar I didn't know would heal
But you're not that nice to be with nice
Guess the truth cuts colder than your lies
Said you weren't ready, then proved me wrong
So I tried again yeah, I held on
You smiled at the bear, at the note I wrote
Then said the line that sunk my boat"I'm not that nice to be with nice"
Now I'm erasing you from my life
I don't hate you, I just hate the way
You painted dreams in shades of gray
You called it care, but it felt like use
I gave you real, you gave me excuse
'Cause you're not that nice to be with nice
I deserved more than sacrifice
You played sweet and walked away
Left my heart in disarray
But I won't stay stuck in that rewind
Your memory's fading out of mine
You're not that nice and that's alright
I'm done giving you my light
