Every day I want to be brave
and try to talk to you
But he's there and I know you don't care
About anything I do
And it hurts cause I know your worth
He doesn't have a clue
If I could ask just one chance
I'll be good to you

I was racing for your heart
But he was just too fast
And that's why
The good guys, the good guys
the good guys finish last
I could try, I could try
good guys finish last
And though I know I would treat you right
I would never put up a fight
And that's why
The good guys, the good guys finish last

That's why the good guys
the good guys finish last
Yeah that's why the good guys
the good guys finish last
Try a few times to be that guy
Like giving what you need
Make you unsure and feeling secure
But that's just isn't me
I'm losing my hope
that you'll ever know
To feel that way I feel
Though I always say you'll love me one day
I know it isn't real

I was racing for you heart
But he was just too fast
And that's why
The good guys, the good guys
the good guys finish last
I could try, I could try
but good guys finish last
And though I know I would treat you right
I would never put up a fight
And that's why
The good guys, the good guys, the good guys finish last

You always passed me by
I would never cross your mind
Why can't you, why can't you realize
I lose my words when I'm with you
Then I don't know what to do
You got me, you got me paralyzed

And with that's why
The good guys, the good guys
the good guys finish last
I could try, I could try
but good guys finish last
And though I know I would treat you right
I would never put up a fight
And that's why
The good guys, the good guys
the good guys finish last

The good guys, the good guys
the good guys finish last
I could try, I could try
but good guys finish last
And though I know I would treat you right
I would never put up a fight
And that's why
The good guys, the good guys
the good guys finish last
That's why the good guys
the good guys finish last
Yeah that's why the good guys
the good guys finish last
