Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I used to hold doors

Text back too fast

Wait up all night

For a call that never came back

I wore my heart

Like a bright red stain

Saying "I got you"

They just took my name in vain

They called me safe

They called me sweet

Till they got bored

Left me talking to the street

So I dug a hole

In the back of my mind

Laid some flowers

For the boy I left behind

[Chorus]

I shot the nice guy dead

He ain't coming home

Laid him in the dirt

Marked the grave with a stone

I gave up on love

Carved it into my bones

If this is how it ends

I'd rather be alone

I shot the nice guy dead

Let his halo rust

Every promise that I kept

Turned to broken trust

I gave up on love

Turned my heart to stone

If this is what it takes

I'd rather be alone (yeah)

[Verse 2]

Used to write long texts

Erase, rewrite

Try to sound strong

But still polite

Used to say "it's fine"

When it cut too deep

Cry in my car

Then drive home on no sleep

They liked my light

Till it showed their flaws

Then blamed my pain

On my "needy" calls

So I cleaned that shrine

In the back of my head

Put the crown in the trash

Left that version for dead

[Chorus]

I shot the nice guy dead

He ain't coming home

Laid him in the dirt

Marked the grave with a stone

I gave up on love

Carved it into my bones

If this is how it ends

I'd rather be alone

I shot the nice guy dead

Let his halo rust

Every promise that I kept

Turned to broken trust

I gave up on love

Turned my heart to stone

If this is what it takes

I'd rather be alone

[Bridge]

Tell me, what did kindness get me?

Cold sheets, ghosted calls, and envy

Every time I bled, they left me

Now my own heart don't respect me (nah)

So when that echo in my chest

Started begging me to stay

I just raised my tired hands

Blew that version away

[Chorus]

I shot the nice guy dead

He ain't coming home

Laid him in the dirt

Marked the grave with a stone

I gave up on love

Carved it into my bones

If this is how it ends

I'd rather be alone

I shot the nice guy dead

Let his halo rust

Every promise that I kept

Turned to broken trust

I gave up on love

Turned my heart to stone

If this is what it takes

I'd rather be alone

[Outro]

No more "maybe they'll change"

No more waiting by the phone

I buried who I was for them

Now I'd rather die alone
