You, 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 a nothing You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board Calling me out when I’m winded You, picking on the weaker man.
You can take me down, with just one single blow But you don’t know, what you don’t know
Some day, I’ll be living in big ole city And all you’re ever gonna be is mean Some day, 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
You, with your switching sides and 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 tryna 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, cause you can’t lead me down that road
And you don’t know, what you know
Some day, I’ll be living in a big ole city And all you’re ever gonna be is mean Some day, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me And all you’re ever gonna be mean, Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar talking over a game With that same big, loud opinion but nobody’s listening Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things Drunk and rumbling on about how I can’t sing, but all you 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 some day, I’ll be living in a big ole city And all you’re ever gonna be is mean. Yeah Some day, 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?
Some I’ll be living in a big ole city And all you’re ever gonna be is mean Some day, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me And all you’re ever gonna be is mean, Why gotta be so mean?
