Lyrics[]
- 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 a nothing
- You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard calling me out when I'm wounded
- You, picking 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 ole 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
- 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
- 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
- But someday I'll be living in a big ole 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 ole city
- 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
- And all you're ever gonna be is mean
- Why you gotta be so mean
