Its Nice To Have A Friend | Taylor Swift

School bell rings, walk me home Sidewalk chalk covered in snow Lost my gloves, you give me one "Wanna hang out?" "Yeah, sounds like fun" Video games You pass me a note Sleeping in tents It's nice to have a friend It's nice to have a friend Light pink sky Up on the roof Sun sinks down No curfew 20 questions We tell the truth You been stressed out lately Yeah, me too Something gave you the nerve To touch my hand It's nice to have a friend It's nice to have a friend Church bells ring Carry me home Rice on the ground Looks like snow Call my bluff Call you "babe" Have my back, yeah, every day Feels like home Stay in bed The whole weekend It's nice to have a friend It's nice to have a friend It's nice to have a friend

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 So why'd you have to rain on my parade? I'm shaking my head, I'm locking the gates 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 (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 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 (mmm-mmm) If only you weren't so shady 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 (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 reading 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, darling (darling) 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 nice things, darling (oh) 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, honey They didn't care about the 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

I'm so glad you made time to see me How's life? Tell me how's your family I haven't seen them in a while You've been good, busier than ever We small talk, work and the weather Your guard is up and I know why Because the last time you saw me Is still burned in the back of your mind You gave me roses and I left them there to die So this is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you Saying I'm sorry for that night And I'd go back to December all the time It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right I'd go back to December all the time These days, I haven't been sleeping Staying up, playing back myself leaving When your birthday passed and I didn't call And I think about summer, all the beautiful times I watched you laughing from the passenger side and Realized I loved you in the fall And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye So this is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you Saying I'm sorry for that night And I'd go back to December all the time It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind I'd go back to December all the time I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right And how you held me in your arms that September night The first time you ever saw me cry Maybe this is wishful thinking Probably mindless dreaming If we loved again I swear I'd love you right I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't So if the chain is on your door, I understand But this is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you Saying I'm sorry for that night And I'd go back to December It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind I'd go back to December all the time All the time

State the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy I realise you love yourself more than you could ever love me So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy That's fine, you won't mind if I say And by the way I hate that stupid old pickup truck You never let me drive You're a redneck heartbreaker Who's really bad at lying So watch me strike a match On all my wasted time As far as I'm concerned you're Just another picture to burn There's no time for tears I'm just sitting here planning my revenge There's nothing stopping me From going out with all of your best friends And if you come around saying sorry to me My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be 'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck You never let me drive You're a redneck heartbreaker Who's really bad at lying So watch me strike a match On all my wasted time As far as I'm concerned you're Just another picture to burn And if you're missing me You'd better keep it to yourself 'Cause coming back around here Would be bad for your health 'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck You never let me drive You're a redneck heartbreaker Who's really bad at lying So watch me strike a match On all my wasted time In case you haven't heard I really, really hate that Stupid old pickup truck You never let me drive You're a redneck heartbreaker Who's really bad at lying So watch me strike a match On all my wasted time As far as I'm concerned you're Just another picture to burn Burn, burn, burn, baby, burn You're just another picture to burn Baby, burn
