You, with your words like knives, and swords and weapons that you use
against me
D A G
You, have knocked me off my feet again, got me feeling like a nothing
D A G
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
calling me out when I’m wounded
D A G
You, picking on the weaker man
A G A
Well you can take me down with just one single blow, But you don’t
know what you don’t know and

Someday, I’ll be living in a big ol’ city,
D A G
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?
D A G
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,
D A G
I walk with my head down trying to block you out ’cause I’ll never impress
you,
D A G
I just wanna feel okay again.
A G
I’ll bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold,
A

Drunk and rumbling on about how I can’t sing,
