You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that toi use against me
toi 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
toi picking on the weaker man
toi can take me down with just one single blow
But toi don't know, what toi don't know...
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so toi can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why toi gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
toi have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block toi out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet toi got pushed around
Somebody made toi cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause toi can't lead me down that road
And toi don't know, what toi don't know...
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so toi can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why toi gotta be so mean?
And I can see toi 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 amer things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all toi are is mean
All toi 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 ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so toi can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why toi gotta be so?..
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city (Why toi gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why toi gotta be so?..)
Someday I'll be big enough so toi can't hit me (Why toi gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why toi gotta be so mean?
