[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Midnight in a neon town, he’s shufflin’ through the haze,
A pocket full of powder and a heart lost in the maze.
He meets her at the barstool, where the whiskey drowns the truth,
She’s got a smile like a razor, but he’s blind to every tooth.
[Chorus]
Oh, he’s a nice guy cryin’ in the shadows of his shame,
Trustin’ every stranger who’ll whisper lies to play his game.
Low places and broken faces, he’s a king without a throne,
Hidin’ from the daylight in a room he calls his own.
[Verse 2]
He chases hollow comfort where the streetlights never sleep,
A dollar for a dreamer, but the memories come cheap.
She’s gone before the sunrise, leaves him shakin’ in the cold,
Another notch on his ego, but his story’s getting old.
[Chorus]
Oh, he’s a nice guy cryin’ in the shadows of his shame,
Trustin’ every stranger who’ll whisper lies to play his game.
Low places and broken faces, he’s a king without a throne,
Hidin’ from the daylight in a room he calls his own.
[Bridge]
He swears he’s a saint in a devil’s disguise,
But the mirror don’t lie when it fogs up with his sighs.
The walls are closin’ tighter, and the night won’t set him free,
Just a boy who’s scared to live, so he lets the vices breathe.
[Chorus]
Oh, he’s a nice guy cryin’ in the shadows of his shame,
Trustin’ every stranger who’ll whisper lies to play his game.
Low places and broken faces, he’s a king without a throne,
Hidin’ from the daylight in a room he calls his own.
