Mean Lyrics - Taylor Swift

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

2 You have knocked me off my feet again, got me feeling like I'm nothing

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

4 You, pickin' on the weaker man

5 You can take me down

6 With just one single blow

7 But you don't know what you don't know

8 Someday I'll be living in a big old city

9 And all you're ever gonna be is mean

10 Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

11 And all you're ever gonna be is mean

12 Why you gotta be so mean?

13 You, with your switching sides and your walk-by lies and your humiliation

14 You, have pointed out my flaws again as if I don't already see them

15 I'll walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you

16 I just wanna feel okay again

17 I'll bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold

18 But the cycle ends right now, 'cause you can't lead me down that road

19 And you don't know what you don't know

20 Someday I'll be living in a big old city

21 And all you're ever gonna be is mean

22 Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

23 And all you're ever gonna be is mean

24 Why you gotta be so mean?

25 And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game

26 With that same big loud opinion, but nobody's listening

27 Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things

28 Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing

29 But all you are is mean

30 All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life

31 And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

32 But someday I'll be living in a big old city

33 And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah

34 Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

35 And all you're ever gonna be is mean

36 Why you gotta be so mean?

37 Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city

38 (Why you gotta be so mean?)

39 And all you're ever gonna be is mean

40 (Why you gotta be so mean?)

41 Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

42 (Why you gotta be so mean?)

43 And all you're ever gonna be is mean

44 Why you gotta be so mean?
