Mean - Taylor Swift
You
with your words like knives
and swords and weapons
that you use against me
You have knoked me off
my feet again
got me feeling like a nothing
You
with your voice like nails
on a chalkboard calling me
out when I'm wounded
You
picking on the weaker man
Well you can take me down
with just one single blow
But you don't know
what you don't know
Someday
I'll be living in a big ole city
And all you're
ever gonna be is mean
Someday
I'll be big enough
so you can't hit me
And all you're
ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean
You
with your switching
sides and your
wildfire lies and your humiliation
You
have pointed out
my flaws again
as if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
trying to block
you out cause
I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now cause
you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know
what you don't know
Someday
I'll be living in a big ole city
And all you're
ever gonna be is mean
Someday
I'll be big enough
so you can't hit me
And all you're
ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean

And I can see you
years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting
about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling
on a bout how I can't sing
But all you are is mean
All you are is mean
And a liar and pathetic
and alone in life
And mean and mean
And mean and mean
But someday
I'll be living in a big ole city
And all you're
ever gonna be is mean yeah
Someday
I'll be big enough
so you can't hit me
And all you're
ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean
Someday
I'll be living in a big ole city
And all you're
ever gonna be is mean
Why gotta be so mean
Someday
I'll be big enough
so you can't hit me
And all you're
ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean
