This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
It was so nice throwing big partiesJump to the pool from the balconyEveryone swimming in a champagne seaAnd there are no rules when you show up hereBass beat rattling the chandelierFeeling so Gatsby for that whole year
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?I'm shaking my headI'm locking the gates
This is why we can't have nice things, darlingBecause you break themI had to take them awayThis is why we can't have nice things, honeyDid 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 againThere I was, giving you a second chanceBut then you stabbed my back while shaking my handAnd therein lies the issueFriends don't try to trick youGet you on the phone and mind-twist youAnd so I took an axe to a mended fence
But I'm not the only friend you've lost latelyIf only you weren't so shady
This is why we can't have nice things, darlingBecause you break themI had to take them awayThis is why we can't have nice things, honeyDid 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 friendsThey don't care about that he-said-she-saidAnd here's to my babyHe ain't reading what they call me latelyAnd here's to my mommaHad to listen to all this dramaAnd here's to you‘Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to doHaha, I can't even say it with a straight face
