Mean by Taylor Swift

You, (1)________ your words (2)________ knives
And (3)____________ and weapons (4)________ you use (5)______________ me
You, have (6)______________ me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, (7)________ your voice like (8)__________ on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You, picking on the weaker man

Well you can take me down (9)________ 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 (10)________ (11)__________ to be is mean
Someday I'll be big (12)____________ so you can't hit me
And all you're ever (13)__________ to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides
And your (14)________________ (15)________ and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I (16)________ with my head down
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I (17)________ wanna feel okay again

I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the (18)__________ ends (19)__________ now
Cause you can't lead me down (20)________ 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 (21)____________ 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 (22)________ now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but
Nobody's listening
Washed up and (23)______________ (24)__________ 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 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 (25)____________ 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 (26)__________ be so mean?)
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you (27)__________ be so mean?
