We've been skating   on thin ice for too long   You can pretend you can reel in   the shit that is going wrong      I tried so hard, I gave it my best shot   and it backfired so hard   I was a nice guy   and it backfired on me      Don't count me out when you're down and out   Cause I'll be there for you   When you change your mind and turn around   you can find me in the same old town   waiting, waiting      I tried so hard, I gave it my best shot   and it backfired so hard   I was a nice guy   and it backfired on me      I always tried my best   to think of all the right things to say   to make you mine      I tried so hard, I gave it my best shot   and it backfired so hard   I was a nice guy   and it backfired on me
