"Mean (Taylor's Version)"

[00:00.48] You, with your words like knives

[00:02.90] And swords and weapons that you use against me

[00:06.37] You have knocked me off my feet again

[00:10.36] Got me feelin' like a nothing

[00:11.96] You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard

[00:15.68] Calling me out when I'm wounded

[00:18.08] You, pickin' on the weaker man

[00:22.38] .

[00:24.71] Well, you can take me down

[00:27.14] With just one single blow

[00:32.24] But you don't know what you don't know

[00:35.46] Someday, I'll be livin' in a big old city

[00:41.04] And all you're ever gonna be is mean

[00:47.15] Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

[00:52.73] And all you're ever gonna be is mean

[00:57.52] Why you gotta be so mean?

[01:04.71] You, with your switching sides

[01:07.36] And your wildfire lies and your humiliation

[01:10.57] You have pointed out my flaws again

[01:14.61] As if I don't already see them

[01:17.00] I walk with my head down, trying to block you out

[01:20.46] 'Cause I'll never impress you

[01:22.32] I just wanna feel okay again

[01:28.69] I bet you got pushed around

[01:31.61] Somebody made you cold

[01:34.53] But the cycle ends right now

[01:36.67] 'Cause you can't lead me down that road

[01:39.60] And you don't know what you don't know

[01:42.81] Someday, I'll be livin' in a big old city

[01:48.40] And all you're ever gonna be is mean

[01:54.52] Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

[02:00.15] And all you're ever gonna be is mean

[02:04.67] Why you gotta be so mean?

[02:08.43] .

[02:16.92] And I can see you years from now in a bar

[02:21.17] Talking over a football game

[02:24.09] With that same big, loud opinion but nobody's listening

[02:29.96] Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things

[02:38.48] Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing

[02:44.64] But all you are is mean

[02:50.02] All you are is mean

[02:52.67] And a liar, and pathetic

[02:55.60] And alone in life, and mean

[02:58.52] And mean, and mean, and mean

[03:02.77] But someday, I'll be livin' in a big old city

[03:08.92] And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah

[03:15.05] Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

[03:20.62] And all you're ever gonna be is mean

[03:25.14] Why you gotta be so mean?

[03:26.74] Someday, I'll be livin' in a big old city (Why you gotta be so mean?)

[03:32.36] And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why you gotta be so mean?)

[03:38.51] Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me (Why you gotta be so mean?)

[03:44.09] And all you're ever gonna be is mean

[03:48.60] Why you gotta be so mean?
