Mean by Taylor Swift

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

Well you can take me (6)________ with (7)________ one single blow
But you don't know
What you don't know
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're (8)________ going to be is mean
Someday I'll be big (9)____________ so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you (10)__________ be so mean?

You, with your (11)__________________ sides
And (12)________ 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 (13)______________ you
I just wanna (14)________ okay again

I bet you got pushed around
Somebody (15)________ 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 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 (16)__________ be so mean?

And I can see you years (17)________ now in a bar
Talking (18)________ a football game
With that same big (19)________ opinion but
Nobody's listening
Washed up and (20)______________ 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 (21)__________ 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 (22)____________ in a big ol' city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever (23)__________ to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you (24)__________ be so mean?)
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you (25)__________ be so mean?
