Mean - [Lyrics]

[Dillon]

mEAN

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 a nothing
You, with your voice like nails
on a chalkboard calling me
out when I'm wounded
You, picking 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 ole 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

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
cause you can't
lead me down that road
And you don't know
what you don't know

Someday I'll be living in a big ole 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

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 ole 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)

Someday I'll be living in a big ole city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so 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
