This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things |
| It was so nice throwing big parties |
| Jump into the pool from the balcony |
| Everyone swimming in a champagne sea |
| And there are no rules when you show up here |
| Bass beat rattling the chandelier |
| Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year |
| So why’d you have to rain on my parade? |
| I’m shaking my head |
| I’m locking the gates |
| This is why we can’t have nice things, darling |
| Because you break them |
| I had to take them away |
| This is why we can’t have nice things, honey |
| Did you think I wouldn’t hear all the things you said about me? |
| This is why we can’t have nice things |
| It was so nice being friends again |
| There I was giving you a second chance |
| But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand |
| And therein lies the issue |
| Friends don’t try to trick you |
| Get you on the phone and mind-twist you |
| And so I took an axe to a mended fence |
| But I’m not the only friend you’ve lost lately |
| If only you weren’t |
| So shady |
| This is why we can’t have nice things, darling |
| Because you break them |
| I had to take them away |
| This is why we can’t have nice things, honey |
| Did you think I wouldn’t hear all the things you said about me? |
| This is why we can’t have |
| Here’s a toast to my real friends |
| They don’t care about that he said, she said |
| And here’s to my baby |
| He ain’t reading what they call me lately |
| And here’s to my momma |
| Had to listen to all this drama |
| And here’s to you |
| 'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do |
| Haha, I can’t even say it with a straight face |
| This is why we can’t have nice things, darling (darling) |
| Because you break them |
| I had to take them away |
| This is why we can’t have nice things, honey |
| Did you think I wouldn’t hear all the things you said about me? |
| This is why we can’t have nice things, darling |
| (And here’s to my real friends) |
| Because you break them |
| I had to take them away |
| (And here’s to my baby) |
| Nice things, honey |
| (He didn’t care about that he said, she said) |
| Did you think I wouldn’t hear all the things you said about me? |
| This is why we can’t have nice things |
