Taylor Swift – “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” Official Song

It was so nice throwing big parties
Jump into 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, and 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 (oh)
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 (mm-mm)
If only you weren’t, so shady

This is why we can’t have nice, things, darling (yeah)
Because you break them, I had to take them, away
This is why we can’t have, nice (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 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 nice, things, darling (darling)
Because you break them, I had to take them, 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, 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 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
