[Verse 1]
I'd light myself on fire
Just so they could watch me burn
I used to throw it all away
Just so they could have it all
But those days are through
I'm trying something new
Listen to words I say
And you'll realize
[Chorus]
Its about damn time that you
Started acting more with your head
Instead of your heart
You fail to see
That the nice guy always seems
To finish last
Sometimes you've just got to be Heartless
[Verse 2]
You need to learn
Not to make my same mistakes
Don't let them walk all over you
'Cause thats exactly what they'll do
If you let them
So don't let them
[Chorus]
Its about damn time that you
Started acting more with your head
Instead of your heart
You fail to see
That the nice guy always seems
To finish last
Sometimes you've just got to be
[Bridge]
You can't pretend
That everything
Is absolutely alright
Yeah, its alright
[Chorus]
Its about damn time that you
Started acting more with your head
Instead of your heart
You fail to see
That the nice guy always seems
To finish last
Sometimes you've just got to be Heartless
You've just gota be
You've just gotta be
