Mean Lyrics - Taylor Swift

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 I'm nothing 

You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard 

Calling 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 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 hit me 

And all you're ever gonna be is mean 

Why you gotta be so mean?

NEW SONG: Taylor Swift - 'Lover' - LYRICS 

Prime Day concert by Amazon Music will be headlined by Taylor Swift 

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 

You can't lead me down that road 

You don't know, what you don't know 

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 hit me 

And all you're ever gonna be is mean 

Why you gotta be so mean? 

Photos 

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, and mean 

But someday, I'll be, living in a big old 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? 

Someday, I'll be, living in a big old 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?
