Mean
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why do you gotta be so mean to me?
I've never done anything to anyone
Why do you gotta be so mean to me?
I just wanna be someone
I know I'm out of tears
Yeah, you used to tease me, used to make it clear
I will be no one
A worthless piece of shit
I was scared of you
You were part of the elite
Now I'm looking at the sunshine
Swimming in the blue
But still once in a while
I'm going back to you
Thinking bout' your words
They cut me like a knife
Made me feel so small
So can you tell me why -
Why do you gotta be so mean to me?
I've never done anything to anyone (to anyone)
Why do you gotta be so mean to me?
I just wanna be someone (to anyone)
Falling down, falling down but you
Keep pulling me further, I'm drowning in the blue
I can't see the light
I guess it's all in vain
I still see your lips
Cursing out my name
Now I'm looking at the sunshine
Swimming in the blue
But still once in a while
I'm going back to you
Thinking bout' your words
They cut me like a knife
Made me feel so small
So can you tell me why
(Why) -
Why do you gotta be so mean to me?
I've never done anything to anyone (to anyone)
Why do you gotta be so mean to me?
I just wanna be someone (to anyone)
Now I'm soaking in it
I'm sitting at the bottom of the pool and dreaming
Cause when I close my eyes I almost touch the ceiling
The water's turning dark
I've never felt this feeling
Now you know your words can lift me up like helium
Make me feel so good like I'm one in a million
Cause I live for compliments, even though they don't mean anything
Why do you gotta be so mean to me?
I've never done anything to anyone
Why do you gotta be so mean to me?
I just wanna be someone
