Why you gotta be so mean?

This is for you Mr. Cedric Chan. 

Mean by Taylor Swift.
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 on single blow
But you don't what you don't know

Someday, I'll be, livin' in a big ol' 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 every gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides and your walk-by lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaw again as if I don't already see them
I'll just 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
And you don't know what you don't know

Someday, I'll be, livin' in a big ol' 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, livin' in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit mean
and all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

Someday, I'll be livin' in a big ol' city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And 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?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?
