(+) CXLOE - I Can't Have Nice Things
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
So why'd you have to rain
on my parade?
I'm shaking my head and
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
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
[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 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
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
