Mean - Taylor Swift

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

You, have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like a nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
calling me out when I'm wounded
You, picking on the weaker man


You can take me down
with just one single blow

PRE-CHORUS
But you don't know,
What you don't know

CHORUS
Someday I'll be
Living 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 never impress you
I just want to 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

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

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
Drunken and rumbling on 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, and mean, and mean, and mean!

CHORUS

Why you gotta be so mean?

CHORUS

Why you gotta be so mean?
