This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things Lyrics - Taylor Swift

[Verse 1] 

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 

[Pre-Chorus] 

So why'd you have to rain on my parade? 

I'm shaking my head 

I'm locking the gates

Prime Day concert by Amazon Music will be headlined by Taylor Swift 

[Chorus] 

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 

[Verse 2] 

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 axe to a mended fence 

Photos 

[Pre-Chorus] 

But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately 

If only you weren't 

So shady 

[Chorus] 

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 

[Bridge] 

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 

[Chorus] 

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) 

This is why we can't have 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
