Mean by Taylor Swift

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

Well you can take me (5)________ with just 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 ever going to be is mean
Someday I'll be big (6)____________ so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with (7)________ switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You, (8)________ (9)______________ out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I (10)________ with my head down
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll (11)__________ impress you
I just wanna feel (12)________ again

I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the (13)__________ ends right now
Cause you can't lead me down (14)________ 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 (15)__________ be so mean?

And I can see you years (16)________ now in a bar
Talking (17)________ a football game
With that same big loud (18)______________ but
Nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting (19)__________ the (20)________ 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 (21)____________ 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 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 (22)________ going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
