Taylor Swift - This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things (Commentary)
Song lyrics
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.
[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.
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.
Ha ha, 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.
