Mean by Taylor Swift

You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use (1)______________ 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 take me down (3)________ 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 ever going to be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and (5)________ humiliation
You, have (6)______________ 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 (7)________ wanna feel okay again

I bet you got pushed around
Somebody (8)________ you cold
But the cycle ends (9)__________ now
Cause you can't (10)________ me down 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 (11)________ going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

And I can see you years (12)________ now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud (13)______________ but
Nobody's listening
Washed up and (14)______________ about the same old bitter things
Drunk and (15)__________________ on (16)__________ 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 (17)__________ to be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're (18)________ (19)__________ to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday I'll be (20)____________ in a big ol' city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
