Taylor Swift - This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things (Lyric)

[Verse 1] It was so nice throwin' big parties Jump into the pool from the balcony Everyone swimmin' in a champagne sea And there are no rules when you show up here Bass beat rattling the chandelier Feelin' so Gatsby for that whole year [Pre-Chorus] So why'd you have to rain on my parade? I'm shaking my head and locking the gates [Chorus] This is why we can't have nice things, darlin' Because you break them, I had to take them away This is why we can't have nice things, honey (Oh) Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me? This is why we can't have nice things [Verse 2] It was so nice being friends again There I was, giving you a second chance But you stabbed me in the back while shakin' 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 axe to a mended fence [Pre-Chorus] But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately (Mm-mm) If only you weren't so shady [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge] Here's a toast to my real friends They don't care about the he-said, she-said And here's to my baby He ain't readin' what they call me lately And here's to my mama 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) [Chorus] This is why we can't have nice things, darlin' (Darlin') Because you break them, I had to take them away (Away) This is why we can't have nice (Uh, uh) things (Oh, no), honey (Baby, oh) Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me? This is why we can't have (Oh) nice (Oh, no) things, darlin' (And here's to my real friends; Oh) Because you break them, I had to take them (Away) (And here's to my baby; Oh) Nice things (Oh, no), honey (They 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
