Lyrics

What's on the other side of nice
When love turns slowly into ice
And tears fall cold upon the ground
No explanation needed
Don't have to go on pleading
With empty words that leave no sound

I waited so long,
I knew when you saw me,
You'd be gone

What's on the other side of nice
When yes can't be the same device
I use to make you think I'm fine
I'm finding words I've never said
Spinning round in my head
Dare me to take back what is mine

I waited so long,
I knew when you saw me,
You'd be gone

Playing safe kills so slow
Even love can't hold hearts open
I tried so hard
To cover up what's true
That the myth of me and you
Is all we ever had

What's on the other side of nice
When I don't want your cool advice
I won't smile and fade away
And when I look into your eyes
I see some vague surprise
That I've got anything to say
