Mean Lyrics By 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 i’m nothing
    you with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
    calling me out when i’m wounded
    you picking on the weaker man

    pre
    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 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

    pre
    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 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
    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 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

    breakdown
    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 mean
    someday i’ll be living in a big old city
    why you gotta be so mean
    and all you’re ever gonna be is mean
    why you gotta be so mean
    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
