Mean (Taylors Version)
[00:00.26] You, with your words like knives
[00:02.91] And swords and weapons that you use against me
[00:06.40] You have knocked me off my feet again
[00:10.38] Got me feeling like I'm nothing
[00:12.26] You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
[00:15.99] Calling me out when I'm wounded
[00:18.11] You, picking on the weaker man
[00:24.75] Well, you can take me down
[00:27.40] With just one single blow
[00:32.45] But you don't know what you don't know
[00:35.66] Someday, I'll be living in a big old city
[00:41.21] And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[00:47.33] Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
[00:52.90] And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[00:57.43] Why you gotta be so mean?
[01:04.86] You, with your switching sides
[01:07.53] And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
[01:10.44] You have pointed out my flaws again
[01:14.72] As if I don't already see them
[01:16.84] I walk with my head down
[01:19.26] Trying to block you out, 'cause I'll never impress you
[01:22.41] I just wanna feel okay again
[01:28.82] I bet you got pushed around
[01:31.71] Somebody made you cold
[01:34.37] But the cycle ends right now
[01:37.04] 'Cause you can't lead me down that road
[01:39.70] And you don't know what you don't know
[01:42.91] Someday, I'll be living in a big old city
[01:48.75] And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[01:54.59] Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
[02:00.16] And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[02:04.69] Why you gotta be so mean?
[02:17.21] And I can see you years from now in a bar
[02:21.46] Talking over a football game
[02:24.11] With that same big loud opinion
[02:26.49] But nobody's listening
[02:29.95] Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
[02:38.49] Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
[02:44.87] But all you are is mean
[02:50.18] All you are is mean
[02:52.86] And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
[02:57.11] And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
[03:02.98] But someday, I'll be living in a big old city
[03:09.07] And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
[03:14.93] Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
[03:20.80] And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[03:25.32] (Why you gotta be so mean?)
[03:26.64] Someday, I'll be living in a big old city
[03:31.20] (Why you gotta be so mean?)
[03:32.51] And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[03:37.02] (Why you gotta be so mean?)
[03:38.37] Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
[03:42.88] (Why you gotta be so mean?)
[03:44.20] And all you're ever gonna be is mean
[03:48.72] Why you gotta be so mean?
