This is why we can't have nice things
[00:07.14] It was so nice throwing big parties
[00:09.64] Jumping to the pool from the balcony
[00:12.39] Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
[00:17.89] And there are no rules when you show up here
[00:21.14] Bass beat rattling the chandelier
[00:24.14] Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
[00:28.64] So why'd you have to rain on my parade?
[00:34.14] I'm shaking my head
[00:37.38] I'm locking the gates
[00:39.64] This is why we can't have nice things, darling
[00:47.39] Because you break them
[00:48.64] I had to take them away
[00:51.64] This is why we can't have nice things, honey
[00:58.57] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
[01:03.17] This is why we can't have nice things
[01:07.66] It was so nice being friends again
[01:10.92] There I was giving you a second chance
[01:13.92] But you stabbed my back while shaking my hand
[01:19.67] And therein lies the issue
[01:21.16] Friends don't try to trick you
[01:22.66] Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
[01:25.41] And so I took an axe to a mended fence
[01:30.16] But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately, hm hm
[01:35.67] If only you weren't
[01:38.17] So shady
[01:41.17] This is why we can't have nice things, darling
[01:47.92] Because you break them
[01:50.17] I had to take them away
[01:52.92] This is why we can't have nice (nice things)
[01:55.67] Things (baby) honey
[01:59.92] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
[02:04.48] This is why we can't have
[02:06.23] Here's a toast to my real friends
[02:08.73] They don't care about that he said, she said
[02:11.73] And here's to my baby
[02:14.97] He ain't reading what they call me lately
[02:17.48] And here's to my momma
[02:20.73] Had to listen to all this drama
[02:23.23] And here's to you
[02:25.98] 'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
[02:33.72] I can't even say it with a straight face
[02:35.48] This is why we can't have nice things, darling (darling)
[02:42.98] Because you break them
[02:44.23] I had to take them away
[02:46.99] This is why we can't have nice things, honey
[02:53.98] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
[02:58.78] This is why we can't have nice things, darling
[03:02.92] (And here's to my real friends)
[03:05.92] Because you break them, I want to take them
[03:08.92] And here's to my baby
[03:12.16] Nice things, honey (they don't care about that he said, she said)
[03:17.67] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
[03:22.17] This is why we can't have nice things
