You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons to use against me You, knock 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, picking on the weaker man You can take me down with just one single blow But you don't know, but you don't know Someday I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is me Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hate me And all you're ever gonna be is me Why you gotta be so mean? You, with your swerging 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 bring me down that road But you don't know, but you don't know Someday I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is me Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hate me And all you're ever gonna be is me 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 and loud opinion but nobody's listening Washed up and ranting about the same old bizarre things Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing All you are is me All you are is me And a liar, and pathetic, and a lonely life And me, and me, and me, and me But someday I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is me Yeah, someday I'll be big enough so you can't hate me And all you're ever gonna be is me Why you gotta be so mean? Living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is me Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hate me And all you're ever gonna be is me Why you gotta be so mean? Thank you for watching!
