Lyrics #1 press t for this is why we cant have nice things It was so nice throwin' big parties Jump into the pool from the balcony Everyone swimmin' in a champagne sea And there are no rules when you show up here Bass beat rattling the chandelier Feelin' 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, darlin' 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 shakin' 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, darlin' (yeah) Because you break them, I had to take them away This is why we can't have nice (nice things) things (baby), honey (oh) 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 readin' 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 Hahaha, I can't even say it with a straight face This is why we can't have nice things, darlin' (darlin') 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 (oh) nice things (oh, no), darlin' (and here's to my real friends) (Oh) because you break them, I had to take them, and here's to my baby (Oh) nice things (oh, no), 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 #2 press f for fearless There's somethin' bout the way The street looks when it's just rained There's a glow off the pavement You walk me to the car And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there In the middle of the parking lot Yeah Oh, yeah We're drivin' down the road I wonder if you know I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now But you're just so cool Run your hands through your hair Absent mindedly makin' me want you And I don't know how it gets better than this You take my hand and drag me head first Fearless And I don't know why But with you I'd dance in a storm In my best dress Fearless So baby drive slow 'Til we run out of road in this one horse town I wanna stay right here in this passenger seat You put your eyes on me In this moment now capture it, remember it 'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this You take my hand and drag me head first Fearless And I don't know why But with you I'd dance in a storm In my best dress Fearless Oh, oh Well you stood there with me in the doorway My hands shake I'm not usually this way but You pull me in and I'm a little more brave It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something, it's fearless Oh, yeah 'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this You take my hand and drag me head first Fearless And I don't know why But with you I'd dance in a storm In my best dress Fearless 'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this You take my hand and drag me head first Fearless And I don't know why But with you I'd dance in a storm In my best dress Fearless Oh, oh, oh yeah Press i for I can do it with a broken heart
