It was so nice throwing big parties
Jumping to the pool in the balcony
Everyone is swimming in a champagne sea
And there are now rules when we show up here
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
Feeling so Gatsby for the whole year,

So why'd you had to go 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 you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand
And therin lines the issue
Friends don't try to trick you
Get you on the phone and mind twist you
And so I took an ex to a mended fence,

But I'm not the only one you lost lately hm hm
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 (nice things)
Things (baby) 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 friends
They don't care about the 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
I can't 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 honey (they didn't care about the he said she said)
Didn't think you wouldn't hear all the things you said about me
This is why we can't have nice things.
