It was so nice throwing big parties

Jumping to the pool from the balcony

Everyone swimming in a champagne 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 you stabbed me in the 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 axe 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 friends

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 away

(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
