Speak Now ☆ Speak Now

You
with your words like knives
And swords and 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
And all you’re
ever gonna be is mean
Someday I’ll be
big enough so you can’t hit me
And all you’re
ever gonna 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 wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made 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 old city
And all you’re
ever gonna be is mean
Someday I’ll be
big enough so you can’t hit me
And all you’re
ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean

And 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 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 old city
And all you’re ever
gonna be is mean Yeah
Someday I’ll be
big enough so you can’t hit me
And all you’re ever
gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean
Someday I’ll be
living in a big old city
And all you’re ever
gonna be is mean
Someday I’ll be
big enough so you can’t hit me
And all you’re ever
gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean
