Nice till he wasn’t

Lyrics

You held the door, said “ladies first”
Swore you’d never let me get hurt
Made me feel safe in your arms at night
Kept all your demons out of sight

But I should’ve known from the way you’d stare
How you laughed but never really cared
All the promises were paper thin
Yeah, you were sweet until you caved in

He was nice until he wasn’t
Gave me the world, then he dropped it
All that love was just for show
Pulled me close just to let me go
Every word, a pretty lie
Perfect lips with a darker side
He was nice until he wasn’t
And now I’m nothing, like I’m nothing to him


You kissed my tears when I was weak
But kept your hands around my peace
Said you loved the way I dreamed too big
Guess you just liked how small I’d get

I kept blaming myself for the fights
Tried to fix what was never right
You made me feel like I’d lost my mind
But baby, you crossed every line


He was nice until he wasn’t
Gave me the world, then he dropped it
All that love was just for show
Pulled me close just to let me go
Every word, a pretty lie
Perfect lips with a darker side
He was nice until he wasn’t
And now I’m nothing, like I’m nothing to him


Was it fun to watch me break?
Hold me close, then twist the pain?
Guess the boy you were was fake
But I’m done playing your games—
No, I won’t play your games

He was nice until he wasn’t
Gave me the world, then he dropped it
All that love was just for show
Pulled me close just to let me go
Every word, a pretty lie
Perfect lips with a darker side
He was nice until he wasn’t
And now I’m nothing, like I’m nothing to him

You held the door, now I’ll walk through
No looking back, I’m done with you
You were nice… until you weren’t.
