Mean by Taylor Swift

You, with your (1)__________ like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You, have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling (2)________ I'm nothing
You, with your (3)__________ like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out (4)________ I'm wounded
You, (5)______________ on the weaker man

Well you can take me down with (6)________ one single blow
But you don't know
What you don't know
Someday I'll be (7)____________ in a big ol' city
And all you're (8)________ 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, (9)________ (10)________ (11)__________________ sides
And your wildfire (12)________ 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 (13)__________ impress you
I just wanna feel okay again

I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends (14)__________ 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 ol' city
And all you're (15)________ 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?

And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud (16)______________ but
Nobody's listening
Washed up and (17)______________ about the same old (18)____________ 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 going 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 (19)__________ be so mean?
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you (20)__________ be so mean?)
And all you're ever (21)__________ to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
