Mean by Taylor Swift

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

Well you can (6)________ me down 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 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 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 impress you
I just (9)__________ feel okay again

I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the (10)__________ ends right now
Cause you can't (11)________ me down (12)________ 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 (13)__________ to be is mean

Someday I'll be big (14)____________ so you can't hit me
And all you're (15)________ going to be is mean
Why you (16)__________ be so mean?

And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud (17)______________ but
Nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on (18)__________ 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 (19)____________ in a big ol' city
And all you're (20)________ 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 (22)____________ 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?
