This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
[00:06.28] It was so nice throwing big parties
[00:09.38] Jumping to the pool from the balcony
[00:12.39] Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
[00:18.12] And there are no rules when you show up here
[00:21.13] Bass beat rattling the chandelier
[00:23.87] Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
[00:28.58] So why'd you have to rain on my parade?
[00:34.11] I'm shaking my head
[00:36.98] I'm locking the gates
[00:39.33] This is why we can't have nice things, darling
[00:46.92] Because you break them
[00:48.21] I had to take them away
[00:50.96] This is why we can't have nice things, honey
[00:58.22] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
[01:02.74] This is why we can't have nice things
[01:07.85] It was so nice being friends again
[01:10.83] There I was giving you a second chance
[01:13.42] But you stabbed my back while shaking my hand
[01:19.36] And therein lies the issue
[01:20.97] Friends don't try to trick you
[01:22.46] Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
[01:25.47] And so I took an axe to a mended fence
[01:30.11] But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately
[01:35.73] If only you weren't
[01:37.89] So shady
[01:40.89] This is why we can't have nice things, darling
[01:48.30] Because you break them
[01:49.82] I had to take them away
[01:52.61] This is why we can't have nice things, honey
[01:59.89] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
[02:04.11] This is why we can't have
[02:05.77] Here's a toast to my real friends
[02:09.01] They don't care about that he said, she said
[02:11.77] And here's to my baby
[02:14.77] He ain't reading what they call me lately
[02:17.77] And here's to my momma
[02:20.75] Had to listen to all this drama
[02:23.26] And here's to you
[02:25.85] ‘Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
[02:32.18] Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face
[02:34.97] This is why we can't have nice things, darling (darling)
[02:42.52] Because you break them
[02:43.78] I had to take them away
[02:46.79] This is why we can't have nice things, honey
[02:53.78] Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
[02:58.30] This is why we can't have nice things, darling
[03:03.13] (And here's to my real friends)
[03:05.88] Because you break them
[03:07.42] I had to take them away
[03:09.05] (And here's to my baby)
[03:11.38] This is why we can't have nice things, darling
[03:14.64] (He 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?
[03:21.65] This is why we can't have nice things
