Nice Guys
Halo Friendlies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No not anyone
But now I'm on my way
I've never been this close around anyone
No not anyone
Who makes me feel this way
When you're near
I gotta know, I gotta know
Don't wrap me up in your candy coated flowers
Cause I gotta know, I gotta know
Nice guys wait
Nice guys wait
Nice guys wait
Way too long
I've never felt so good anything
About everything
Boy, you've got me good
I guess you always knew
And you always kept your cool
But now I'm feeling a little tired
Now my heart it bleeds
A thousand times an hour
You gotta go, you gotta go
The time I waited for you
Has turned from sweet to sour
To let me know, to let me know
Nice guys wait
Nice guys wait
Nice guys wait
Way too long
You were always what I wanted
I don't know what I want now
You should have run to get me
I gave you all the chances
Star-crazy big eyed glances
You sure, you sure wasted time
Nice guys wait
Nice guys wait
Nice guys wait
Way too long
Nice guys wait
Nice guys wait
Nice guys wait
Way too long
You know that nice guys wait too long
You know that nice guys wait too long

Way too long
But often end up waiting far too long for something that may never come
I've never felt so good anything
I've never experienced such intense happiness
About everything
With every aspect of my life
Boy, you've got me good
You've won my heart over completely
I guess you always knew
I think you were aware of your power over me
And you always kept your cool
You remained calm and collected throughout this whole experience
But now I'm feeling a little tired
But now I'm starting to feel worn out and uncertain
Now my heart it bleeds
Now my heart aches with pain and sadness
A thousand times an hour
Constantly and intensely
You gotta go, you gotta go
I need you to leave and move on
The time I waited for you
The time I spent waiting for you to respond
Has turned from sweet to sour
Has gone from being an enjoyable and hopeful experience to a difficult and unpleasant one
To let me know, to let me know
To inform me of your true intentions and feelings
You were always what I wanted
You were always the person I desired and envisioned as my ideal partner
I don't know what I want now
But now I'm not so sure and have lost my sense of direction
You should have run to get me
You should have pursued me with more effort and intention
I gave you all the chances
I gave you numerous opportunities to make something happen between us
Star-crazy big eyed glances
I gave you longing and hopeful looks that showed my interest in you
You sure, you sure wasted time
You definitely didn't use your chances and time wisely
You know that nice guys wait too long
It's a common problem that people with kind hearts and pure intentions end up waiting too long for something that may never come
