Lyrics

Spent too many years just saying "yes,"
Smiling through the weight of all my stress,
Tried to please the world, but lost myself,
Felt like a stranger in my skin, I was somebody else.

But the truth cuts deep when you've had enough,
You can't fill them up when you're running on dust,
Nice is easy, but it's wearing me thin,
It's time to break free, time to begin.

I'd rather be good, not just nice,
Stand tall for myself, no more sacrifice,
I've given too much, now it's my turn,
To take back my soul, let the fire burn.
Good is stronger, good is true,
Nice is bending until you break in two,
So I'll be good, good for me,
That's the way I was meant to be.

Nice is silent, it keeps you small,
It waits for permission, afraid to fall,
But good is honest, it's tough and bold,
It knows that self-love is worth its weight in gold.

So no more chasing what they want me to be,
I'll be good to myself, and finally free,
Nice is a mask, but I'm done with that,
I'm stepping out and I'm never looking back.

I'd rather be good, not just nice,
Stand tall for myself, no more sacrifice,
I've given too much, now it's my turn,
To take back my soul, let the fire burn.
Good is stronger, good is true,
Nice is bending until you break in two,
So I'll be good, good for me,
That's the way I was meant to be.

I won't break my promises, not anymore,
Being "nice" was a battle, but I've found my core,
To be good means to love, to be kind to my heart,
I'm rewriting my story, I'm making a start.

I'd rather be good, not just nice,
Stand tall for myself, no more sacrifice,
I've given too much, now it's my turn,
To take back my soul, let the fire burn.
Good is stronger, good is true,
Nice is bending until you break in two,
So I'll be good, good for me,
That's the way I was meant to be.
