lyrics

Verse 1:

I'm here
I always sit a little far away 'cause I'm nervous to sit too close
I'm here
pretending that I'm not listening as I scroll through the Instagram posts, and I hear
you're laughing about a girl for doing the hardest thing I know how to do, and I hear
when you take a look up at the ceiling to say something too
and you sigh and say, oh

Chorus:

Mean teens, oh mean teens, oh mean teens, oh mean teens
and I wonder what makes you think you're so holy

Verse 2:

Oh dear
whatever you're about to say, don't say it
every time I hear you start a sentence with that god-awful phrase
oh dear
you think you're a saint 'cause you've read two whole books with a
single gay character, I was
near close to tears when I heard you talking
but now I'm just angry, now I'm just angry oh
why do you fear someone who isn't quite the same as you
speaking in your vicinity?
And I don't know if I wanna cry or scream when you say

Chorus

Bridge:

And I hate people who preach on a broken spine
and I hate that they think there's a compromise
oh it's enough that they don't hate me,
why should they tolerate me too?
And it's okay that I'm who I am
as long as I don't say it too loud
say it too loud, oh
say it too loud

Final Chorus:

Oh mean teens, thank god you're not a mean teen, woah
mean teens, thank god you're not a mean teen
and I wonder what makes you think you're so holy
