You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that 당신 use against me
당신 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
당신 picking on the weaker man

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

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so 당신 can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why 당신 gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
당신 have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block 당신 out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again

I bet 당신 got pushed around
Somebody made 당신 cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause 당신 can't lead me down that road
And 당신 don't know, what 당신 don't know...

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so 당신 can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why 당신 gotta be so mean?

And I can see 당신 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 쓴, 쓰라린 things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all 당신 are is mean

All 당신 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 gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so 당신 can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why 당신 gotta be so?..

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city (Why 당신 gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why 당신 gotta be so?..)
Someday I'll be big enough so 당신 can't hit me (Why 당신 gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why 당신 gotta be so mean?
