[Sincerely Yours ♥]

You, with your words like knives & swords & weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard, calling me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin' on the weaker man

Well, you can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know

Someday I'll be living in a big old city
& All you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
& All you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides & your walk-by lies & your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again as if I don't already see them
I'll walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again

I'll bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now 'cause you can't lead me down that road
& You don't know what you don't know

Someday I'll be living in a big old city
& All you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
& All you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

& I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk & grumbling on about how I can't sing

But all you are is mean
All you are is mean & a liar & pathetic & alone in life
& Mean, & mean, & mean, & mean

Someday I'll be living in a big old city
& All you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
& All you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
Why you gotta be so mean?
& All you're ever gonna 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?
& All you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?
