lyrics
Painful niceties stick in my craw
Painful niceties I think I'm hitting the wall
I think it's time to change my life
make sure you're not in it
You can call me a loser but
I've already been it
for puttin up with all your lies
no one would believe it
My dignity has long capsized
how am I gonna retrieve it?
Painful niceties
Painful niceties wouldn't be wearing my shoes
Painful niceties now I got nothing to lose
I think it's time to run like hell away from all the constiction
you tied me down and held me back,
you strangled my faith and conviction
I used to have integrity, I used to sleep well in my bed
but while I tie myself to you, my future's officially dead
Painful niceties Rome wasn't built in a day
Painful niceties they're soon to be going away
Painful niceties Painful niceties
