The Nice Guy

What does it mean to be the nice guy?
It means to listen; it means to understand
It means to give them power, instead of making demands
It means to be the shoulder they lean on
It means being the one at 3AM they can call upon

What does it mean to be the nice guy?
It means being the one whom they can cry in front
It means not being the one they'll ever want
It means knowing it'll never go the way you planned
It means sitting down so that others can stand

What does it mean to be the nice guy?
It means letting go when you want to hold on tight
It means backing off because you know you'd win the fight
It means to suffer and be scorned
It means getting gored when you grab the bull by the horns

What does it mean to be the nice guy?
I'ts taking others into consideration
It means not fucking her when she's wasted
It means testing the waters instead of jumping in
It means closing the door, because once again it had to end

Why do they complain about the lack of nice guys?
