Mean by Taylor Swift

You, (1)________ your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You, (2)________ 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, picking on the weaker man

Well you can (3)________ me down with just one single blow
But you don't know
What you don't know
Someday I'll be (4)____________ in a big ol' city
And all you're (5)________ (6)__________ to be is mean
Someday I'll be big (7)____________ so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you (8)__________ be so mean?

You, with your switching sides
And your (9)________________ (10)________ and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I (11)________ with my (12)________ down
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I (13)________ 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 (14)________ that road
And you don't know
What you don't know
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever going to be is mean

Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever (15)__________ to 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 (16)________ 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 ol' city
And all you're ever going to be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever (17)__________ to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you (18)__________ be so mean?
Someday I'll be big (19)____________ so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're (20)________ going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
