Back when Rachel and I were friends, there was this one girl, Drew. She was just so mean. Her words were sharp like knives and swords and the weapons she uses to fight against me. She keeps metaphorically knocking me off my feet, with her voice like nails on a chalkboard. She's just plain mean, and a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life.
I can see her years from now, sitting in a bar. Talking over a football game and how the cheerleaders' skirt's colours are all wrong. With the same loud opinion, even though no-one cares, and nobody is listening. All washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things, really drunk and grumbling on and on about how I can't sing, even though she'd never even heard me.
I know that someday I'll be living in a big old city, big enough so she cant hit me. But all she's ever gonna be is mean if she continues. I just wanna know why she has to be so mean.
She is always switching sides, with big fat lies and humiliating the weaker man for making some sort of imaginary error. She always pointed out my flaws, like whether I have pimples and spots, which I already worried about. I hung my head down, trying to block her out, because I knew I'd never impress her. She can take me down with a single blow, but she don't know what she don't know…
Maybe I should of mentioned my name is Annabeth Chase, and I'm a daughter of Athena. Rachel was my mortal best friend, and Percy my half-blood – son of Poseidon.
I also have an altar-ego you may know. Taylor Swift? Heard of her? Well, that's me. You might have guessed, but I wrote a song about Drew, when I was particularly mad at her:
Mean, by Taylor Swift (me, Annabeth!)
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 feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You picking on the weaker man
You can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know, what you don't know...
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
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
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know, what you don't know...
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean
All you are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so?
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city (Why you gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why you gotta be so?..)
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me (Why you gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
So thanks for reading! I'm hoping to have the next chapter out later…
Byee!
