Why d'you gotta be so mean to me?
I've never done anything to anyone
Why d'you gotta be so mean to me?
I just wanna be someone
(I just wanna be someone, I just wanna be someone, I just wanna)

Ridin' out, runnin' 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 lookin' in the sunshine
Swimming in the blue
But still once in a while
I'm going back to you
Thinkin' bout your words
They cut me like a knife
Made me feel so small
So can you tell me why

Why d'you gotta be so mean to me?
I've never done anything to anyone, t-to anyone
Why d'you gotta be so mean to me?
I just wanna be someone, t-t-to anyone
Falling down, falling down, but you
Keep pulling me further, I'm drownin' 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 lookin' in the sunshine
Swimming in the blue
But still once in a while
I'm going back to you
Thinkin' bout your words
They cut me like a knife
Made me feel so small
So can you tell me why
(Why-)

Why d'you gotta be so mean to me?
I've never done anything to anyone, to-to anyone
Why d'you gotta be so mean to me?
I just wanna be someone (I just wanna be someone) to-to-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 d'you gotta be so mean to me?
I've never done anything to anyone
Why d'you gotta be so mean to me?
I just wanna be someone
