[Verse 1] 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 Im nothing You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard Calling me out when Im wounded You, picking on the weaker man [PreChorus] You can take me down With just one single blow But you dont know what you dont know [Chorus] Someday, Ill be living in a big old city And all youre ever gonna be is mean Someday, Ill be big enough so you cant hit me And all youre ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean? [Verse 2] You, with your switching sides And your wildfire lies and your humiliation You have pointed out my flaws again As if I dont already see them I walk with my head down, trying to block you out Cause Ill never impress you I just wanna feel okay again [PreChorus] I bet you got pushed around Somebody made you cold But the cycle ends right now Cause you cant lead me down that road And you dont know what you dont know [Chorus] Someday, Ill be living in a big old city And all youre ever gonna be is mean Someday, Ill be big enough so you cant hit me And all youre ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean? [Bridge] And I can see you years from now in a bar Talking over a football game With that same big loud opinion But nobodys listening Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things Drunk and grumbling on about how I cant sing 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, Ill be living in a big old city And all youre ever gonna be is mean, yeah [Chorus] Someday, Ill be big enough so you cant hit me And all youre ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so? Someday, Ill be living in a big old city Why you gotta be so? And all youre ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so? Someday, Ill be big enough so you cant hit me Why you gotta be so? And all youre ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?
mean, someday, big, ta, ever
