Lyrics for Mean
Song by Good Charlotte
[Intro]
I’ve been in my head for two whole weeks
You kicked me out of bed and screamed at me
Can’t believe it, what you said, you make a scene
You love it when I beg
Why are you so mean to me?[Verse 1]
I thought when you became the queen
I would be the king
But how was I supposed to know
That it was such a silly thing
A silly thing to think?
I’m tryin’ not to let it show[Pre-Chorus]
Last night, I thought myself into a coma
You said it’s over[Chorus]
I’ve been in my head for two whole weeks
You kicked me out of bed and screamed at me
Can’t believe it, what you said, you make a scene
You love it when I beg
Why are you so mean to me?[Verse 2]
If there’s a war that I could fight
I’d do it in your name
Yeah, I would go to hell and back
I would walk straight through the fire
Barefoot on the flames
But I don’t think you’d notice that[Pre-Chorus]
It’s 3 a.m., I’m stuck in the corner
I feel paralyzed
You said it’s over[Chorus]
I’ve been in my head for two whole weeks
You kicked me out of bed and screamed at me
Can’t believe it, what you said, you make a scene
You love it when I beg
Why are you so
You so mean?[Bridge]
Why are you so mean?
Why are you so mean?
To me, to me, to me
[Outro]
(Why are you so mean?) Is it mine? Is it yours?
When I hear that voice
I just keep rolling, I just keep rolling
(Why are you so mean?) Is it wrong? Is it right?
Is it black or white?
I just keep rolling, I just keep rolling
