Mean Lyrics

You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me
You, knock me off my feet again, got me feeling like a nothing
You, with your words like nails on a chalk board, 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 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, pointing out my flaws again as if I don’t already see them
I walk with my head down, try to block you out because 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 because 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 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 years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game with that same loud opinion
But nobody’s listening, washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling 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
But someday I’ll be living in a big old 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
Someday I’ll be living in a big old city
(Why you gotta be so)
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me
(Why you gotta be so)
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
