Big cinematic pop-rock, choirs and towering drums. Start soft with solo male vocal and piano, then build into a thunderous, tongue-in-cheek anthem with gang shouts and brass swells on the hook. Guitars enter by the first chorus, strings climb in the bridge, last chorus explodes with stacked harmonies and crowd vocals.

Prompt:
[Verse 1] Held the door Said “after you” Carried twelve bags Plus your dog Plus your roommate too Listened to your ex for an hour and a half Took notes like a TED Talk You just laughed I fixed your Wi-Fi Built your shelf Cheered you up while ignoring myself You said “Why can’t all men be like you?” Then kissed the guy who ghosted you last June [Chorus] Nice guys finish last But we finish like a legend in a tragic cast Golden hearts in bargain bins Crowned with friend-zone safety pins Nice guys finish last Cue the thunder Let the credits roll so fast If love’s a race I’m eating dust But I look heroic in my rusted armor’s trust (oh yeah) [Verse 2] I read your texts out loud in court Defending “that dude” like a contact sport You said “You’re such a brother to me” Cool cool cool… internally screaming for free I sent you memes at 2am You left me on read Then liked his pic again He said “k.” You said “he’s deep” I wrote a poem You fell asleep [Chorus] Nice guys finish last But we finish like a martyr in a meme that’s passed Holding doors to empty halls Answering late-night pity calls Nice guys finish last Waving from the bottom of the social class If love’s a game I’m on the bench But my moral high ground’s one dramatic trench (hey!) [Bridge] [Choir swells] Raise your snacks Raise your text receipts To every “you’re so sweet” And every “let’s never ruin this with feelings” Knights in hoodies Capes of flannel We die heroic Changing her Netflix channel One day maybe Plot twist lands The credits stop She grabs my hand But ‘til that day [Chorus] Nice guys finish last But we finish in slow motion Epic cast Orchestra of broken plans Violins for empty hands Nice guys finish last Yet we stand like statues in a storm that’s passed If love’s a race I lose the girl But I win Best Supporting Role in her world (oh yeah) [Outro] So here’s my crown Of “such a friend” I’ll rule this kingdom To the bitter end Nice guys finish last Roll the drums Fade to black Cut to blast
