After the past few years, do I really need to explain why I wrote this song?
lyrics
That's why, that's why we can't have nice things. Nice things.
Just as we broke up, all said and done, she asked a question,
Would you mind if I, will spend a night, in bed with your friend?
I just shouted no, he's my best friend, I'll be too jealous
But she doesn't know, Of whom I'm i'll be... truly jealous...
That's why, that's why we can't have nice things. Nice things.
She just has it all, the brains and brawns, her hair is perfect,
I told her my love, someone like you, must always feel great
One dark lonely night, she shared her thoughts, she prays for illness
So that she will have, a real excuse, for her depression
That's why, that's why we can't have nice things. Nice things.
There’s a clause in the contract
I can see the way it contrasts
Who I m inside won’t go out
Like a light switch
There’s a flaw in your code
If you think I’m your Fallback
You know nothing at all
Celebrate my nothing with a grain of salt
You try so hard then say it’s all my
Fault
It’s so hard to revolt
every time that I try
close my eyes to the fact the light inside had finally died
That's why, that's why we can't have nice things. Nice things.
