This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
[00:00.01] •••
[00:06.30] It was so nice throwing big parties
[00:09.31] Jumping to the pool from the balcony
[00:12.14] Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
[00:17.87] And there are no rules when you show up here
[00:20.95] Bass beat rattling the chandelier
[00:23.96] Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
[00:28.79] So why'd you have to rain on my parade?
[00:34.08] I'm shaking my head
[00:36.91] I'm locking the gates
[00:39.26] This is why we can't have nice things, darling
[00:46.76] Because you break them
[00:48.27] I had to take them away
[00:51.11] This is why we can't have nice things, honey
[00:58.36] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
[01:02.85] This is why we can't have nice things
[01:07.85] It was so nice being friends again
[01:10.85] There I was giving you a second chance
[01:13.42] But you stabbed my back while shaking my hand
[01:19.51] And therein lies the issue
[01:20.86] Friends don't try to trick you
[01:22.38] Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
[01:25.35] And so I took an axe to a mended fence
[01:30.34] But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately
[01:35.45] If only you weren't
[01:38.10] So shady
[01:40.74] This is why we can't have nice things, darling
[01:48.49] Because you break them
[01:49.84] I had to take them away
[01:52.58] This is why we can't have nice things, honey
[01:59.85] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
[02:04.33] This is why we can't have
[02:05.65] Here's a toast to my real friends
[02:08.90] They don't care about that he said, she said
[02:11.89] And here's to my baby
[02:14.76] He ain't reading what they call me lately
[02:17.77] And here's to my momma
[02:20.51] Had to listen to all this drama
[02:23.08] And here's to you
[02:25.84] ‘Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
[02:32.09] Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face
[02:34.92] This is why we can't have nice things, darling (darling)
[02:42.67] Because you break them
[02:43.92] I had to take them away
[02:46.67] This is why we can't have nice things, honey
[02:53.92] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
[02:58.42] This is why we can't have nice things, darling
[03:03.25] (And here's to my real friends)
[03:06.02] Because you break them
[03:07.26] I had to take them away
[03:09.01] (And here's to my baby)
[03:10.13] This is why we can't have nice things, darling
[03:14.75] (They didn't care about that he said, she said)
[03:17.38] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
[03:21.87] This is why we can't have nice things
