I Turn to You

( Artist: Christina aguilera)

When i’m lost in the rain

In your eyes I know I’ll find the light to light my way.

When I’m scared and losing ground;

When my world is going crazy, you can turn it all around.

And when I’m down you’re there; pushing me to the top.

You’re always there; giving me all you’ve got.

For a shield from the the storm;

For a friend; for a love

To keep me safe and warm,

I turn to you.

For the strength to be strong;

For the will to cry on;

For everything you do;

For everything that’s true,

I turn to you.

“Mean” by Taylor Swift

[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 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

[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 living in a big old 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?

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Someday,

I'll be living in a big old 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?

[Bridge]

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

[Breakdown]

But

someday, I'll be living in a big old city

And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
