Kelly Hogan - We Can't Have Nice Things lyrics

Welcome to our humble home
We can't you invite you in
Cause someone's gone and made a
Wreck of everything again
Like this coffee table footrest where
The whisky glass leaves rings
And I guess we just can't have nice things

The phone must not be working cause
You haven't called me yet
The chair that I wake up
Has been burned by cigarettes
I tell myself it's only smoke
That suffocates and clings
And I guess we just can't have nice things
No, I guess we just can't have nice things
Step around the wedding presents we're
Returning to the store
The lamp inside the window
Isn't burning any more
The mirror only shows me someone
Else's face it seems
And I guess we just can't have nice things
No, I guess we just can't have nice things

A teardrop on each pillow here
A hole in every wall
Still I'd rather these things
Than have nothing

Keep the bedroom door shut just
To hide our broken dreams
It's where we tried to rise up
On our torn and tattered wings
The vows have lost their meaning
And memory only stings
And I guess we just can't have nice things
No, I guess we just can't have nice things
No, I guess we just can't have nice things
