Real Mean Lyrics

I read back over
Things that I wrote three years ago
And I'm ten years older
Time moves fast and time moves slow
Before you told me
That I'd f***** up worse than none before
You whispered that I was a better person than you
I disagreed then, I don't anymore

[Chorus:]
And what's the use?
I know you're just sore to lose
'Cause I was never half as bad as you were bad to me
Being real, not being mean
You tried to twist it
I tried to fix it more than you could ever know
To do things right, and be a friend, and make it right
To find a thread that I could start to sew
[Chorus]

You're old enough to know the difference between
Being real and being mean
I'm being real, I'm not being mean
