01 Jun Nice Guy Warning
Mother warned me about the drinker
Liquid courage turns the man violent
Cause my eyes to run, cheeks turn pinker
Beating you, telling you to keep silent
Father warned me about fast cars
Out late speeding along the wet ground
Mornings after —found covered in scars
Screeching tires, before the final sound
My friends warned me about the popular guy
Abs of steel with a heart of rust
Made sure to give every girl a try
Once he was done just left me in the dust
Everyone warned me about the drugs
The way they would distract your brain
Make you feel alive, safe like hugs
Until it starts infecting you slowly, driving you insane
They warn you about the bad boy
Emotionally unavailable with the cutest smile
Use you for entertainment, no more than a toy
They let you chase, string you on for a mile
I was warned about all the evil
All the pain life would throw at me
How it was important not to trust some people
Prepared for all the hurt I was to see
But no one warned me about the nice one
The one that would make you fall in love
Some sweet mother’s little son
A symbol of joy and hope, like the dove
Lure you in and gain your trust
Comfort you, causing you not to fear
Promising that it was for love and not for lust
But it would still lead to the same despair
Disappear without a trace
Leaving you wondering why
Salty tears running down your face
No one warned me about the nice guy
