Taylor Swift - Mean

You with your words like knives
and swords and the weapons
that you use against me

You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feelin' like a nothing

You with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Callin' me out when I'm wounded

You pickin' on the weaker man
You can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know

Someday I'll be livin' in a big old 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 ok again
I'll 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 livin' in a big old 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
Talkin' 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 grumblin' all about 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 (X4)

But someday I'll be livin' in a big old city
and all you're ever gonna be is mean
Yeah, 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 old city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're every gonna be is mean
Yeah, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
