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 feelin' like i'm nothing
You,
With your voice like nails
on a chalkboard
Callin' 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
Livin' in a big ole' city
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
Someday I'll be
Big enough so you can't hit me
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
(stop)
You,
With your switching sides
and your wild fire 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
Try 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
Livin' in a big ole' city
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
Someday I'll be
Big enough so you can't hit me
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
(stop)
And I can see years from now
in a bar
Talkin' over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting
About the same ole' bitter things.
Drunk and goin on about
How I can't sing.
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
Livin' in a big ole' city
and all your ever gonna be is mean
Yeah
Someday I'll be
Big enough so you can't hit me
and all your ever gonna be is mean.
Why you gotta be so(mean)
Someday I'll be
Livin' in a big ole' city(Why you gotta be so mean)
and all your 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 your ever gonna be is mean.
Why you gotta be so mean?
