thank you aimee / mean - taylor swift lyrics

[part i: thank you aimee]

[verse 1]
when i picture my hometown
there’s a bronze, spray*tanned statue of you
and a plaque underneath it
that threatens to push me down the stairs at our school

[pre*chorus]
and it was always the same searing pain
but i dreamed that one day i could say

[chorus]
all that time you were throwin’ punches, i was buildin’ somethin’
and i can’t forgive the way you made me feel
screamed, “f*ck you, aimee” to the night sky as the blood was gushin’
but i can’t forget the way you made me heal

[verse 2]
and it wasn’t a fair fight
or a clean k!ll each time that aimee stompеd across my grave
and then she wrotе headlines
in the local paper, laughing at each baby step i’d take

[pre*chorus]
and it was always the same searing pain
but i dreamed that one day i could say
[chorus]
all that time you were throwin’ punches, i was buildin’ somethin’
and i couldn’t wait to show you it was real
screamed, “f*ck you, aimee” to the night sky as the blood was gushin’
but i can’t forget the way you made me heal
everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman
but she used to say she wished that you were dead
i pushed each boulder up the hill
your words are still just ringin’ in my head, ringin’ in my head

[bridge]
i wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool
i built a legacy that you can’t undo
but when i count the scars, there’s a moment of truth
that there wouldn’t be this if there hadn’t been you

[verse 3]
and maybe you’ve reframed it
and in your mind, you never beat my spirit black and blue
i don’t think you’ve changed much
and so i changed your name and any real defining clues
and one day, your kid comes home singin’
a song that only us two is gonna know is about

[part ii: mean]
[verse 1]
you, with your words like knives
and swords and weapons that you use against me
you have knocked me off my feet again
got me feelin’ like a nothing
you, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
calling me out when i’m wounded
you, pickin’ on the weaker man

[pre*chorus]
well, you can take me down
with just one single blow
but you don’t know what you don’t know

[chorus]
someday, i’ll be livin’ in a big ole city
and all you’re ever gonna be is mean

and all you’re ever gonna be is mean
why you gotta be so mean?
why you gotta be so mean?

[part iii: thank you aimee]

[chorus]
all that time you were throwin’ punches, it was all for nothin’
and our town, it looks so small from way up here
screamed, “thank you, aimee” to the night sky and the stars are stunnin’
’cause i can’t forget the way you made me heal
[part iv: thank you aimee / mean]

[outro]
thank you, aimee
thank you, aimee
cause i’m living in a big old city
thank you, aimee

and all you’re ever gonna be is mean
and all you’re ever gonna be is mean
why you gotta be so mean?
