‘no’
might make them angry
but
it will make you free.
— if no one has ever told you, your freedom is more important than their anger.

“Mean” by Taylor Swift, covered by Boyce Avenue feat. Megan Nicole.
Calling me out when I’m wounded…
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…
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…
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Words for the Year 
Dont know remember how I found this site, but have officially registered. The song “MEAN” so powerful and definitely want to get music by Megan as soon as budget allows..
thanks for all you are doing…

You’re very kind, Carolyn, thank you. So happy you found us…we don’t do much self-promotion, preferring instead for people to find us on their own when they are meant to find us. An oasis in a desert, hopefully. 🙂
Such powerful lyrics in Mean. Love Taylor, but this cover version just makes me happy.
Wishing you all good things, Christy
