This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

It was so nice throwing big parties
Jumping to the pool from the balcony
Everyone swimming in a champaign 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 then you stabbed my 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 ax 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 friend
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
And here's to my baby
Nice things darling
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
