mean

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 'o 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 walk with my head down

trying to block you out cause i'll never impress you

i just wanna feel okay again. i bet you got pushed around

somebody made you cold

but the cycle ends right now

you can't lead me down that road

you don't know

what you don't know

someday

i'll be

living in a big 'o 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 'o 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 'o 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?
