(This is a Taylor Swift song, but I have never heard her version.. I like the version from Glee. Glee is my "escape" programme. I love this song; it's like I could have written it myself, my inner child understands every line so deeply - so I'll post most of the lyrics. It makes me feel better to listen right now after a long and difficult day.)
Mean
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 OK again.
I bet you got pushed around,
Somebody made you cold -
But the cycle ends right now.
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
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.
