[Verse 1]
            
You, with your

         
 words like kn

ives,
      
And swords and

 weapons that 

you use agains

t me
           
You, have knoc

              
ked me off my 


feet again,

Got me feeling like I’m nothing
            
You, with your

             
 voice like na

            
ils on a chalk

board

Calling me out when I’m wounded
           
You, pickin’ o

         
n the weaker m

an


Well you can t

ake me down,
             
With just one 

       
single blow
            
But you don’t 

            
know, what you

 don’t know

[Chorus]
            
Someday, I’ll 

     
be living in a

 big old city,
             
And all you’re

             
 ever gonna be

    
 is mean
            
Someday, I’ll 

    
be big enough 

so you can’t h

it me,
             
And all you’re

             
 ever gonna be

     
 is mean
              
Why you gotta 

       
be so mean?

[Verse 2]
            
You, with your

    
 switching sid

es,
          
And your wildf

ire lies and y

our humiliatio

n
           
You, have poin

             
ted out my fla

ws again,

As if I don’t already see them
          
I walk with my

 head down,
            
Trying to bloc

k you out caus

e I’ll never i

mpress you
           
I just wanna f

     
eel 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

(Repeat Chorus)

[Bridge]
           
And I can see 

you years from

 now in a bar,
             
Talking over a

   
 football game

,

With that same

 big loud opin

ion but,
             
Nobody’s  list

        
ening
             
Washed up and 

              
ranting about 

           
the same old b

      
itter things,
             
Drunk and grum

              
bling on about

           
 how I  can’t 


sing

              
But all you ar

                 
e is mean,
             
All you are is

 
 mean
             
And a liar, an

            
d pathetic, an

    
d alone in lif

e,
             
And mean, and 

           
mean, and mean

       
, and mean

(Repeat chorus a couple times)
