"I don't think that being a strong person is about ignoring your emotions and fighting your feelings. Putting on a brave face doesn't mean you're a brave person. That's why everybody in my life knows everything that I'm going through. I can't hide anything from them. People need to realise that being open isn't the same as being weak."

Mean.

I know what you say about me.
I know exactly what you mean.
You know I'm not as dumb as you think coz
If I was I wouldn't have beaten you in everything.

You know exactly how you hurt me.
You know that you make me cry.
I know you love how much you can hurt me coz
That's who you are and all you'll ever be.

So you can tease me,
Call me a useless dreamer,
Because I know,
People don't get any meaner.
You're trapped in your own bitterness,
You can't look past your ignorance,
You're trapped in ways that I'm not.
So baby, I don't blame ya,
Because I can dare to dream,
And all you are is mean.

I don't know what I did to deserve this,
I don't know exactly who deserves this humiliation.
You know you're loving how you hate me coz
You don't know any other way.

You don't know how bad it feels to be on this end,
You don't know how hard you hit sometimes.
I don't know if there's any way to protect you
From the person you are,
And the person you'll become.

So you can blame me and
Call me a useless dreamer,
Because I know,
People don't get any meaner.
You think that I'm so innocent,
You think that I'm so helpless,
I'm trapped in ways that you're not.
So baby, I don't blame ya,
Because I'm the useless dreamer,
And all you are is mean.

Do you really think in this world,
A pretty face like yours should really be paired with a black heart like yours?
Do you really think in this world,
I'll never be anything?
I'll never be anything?

You know you can't get to big cities just by bitchin'
You know you can't get money just by lyin'
You know that college and careers don't fall into your lap like cherries.
I guess to get all that you have to be a useless dreamer...
Like me...

So who's laughing now?
It's the useless dreamer.
You should stop now,
Please don't get any meaner.
You're so helpless,
You're gonna be so unwanted,
You're trapped in so many ways that I'm not,
So baby I don't blame ya,
Call me a uselss dreamer,
Because I won't be one for much longer,
But all you'll ever be,
All you ever are is mean.

Inspired by Taylor Swift's song 'Mean'.
