Lyrics Mean Taylor Swift

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 I'm nothing  

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

You, pickin' 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 walk-by lies and your humiliation  

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

I'll walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause 

I'll never impress you I just wanna feel okay 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 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
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?
