Lake Is Mean

[Verse 1]

Lake walks in and flowers seem to open

Every little room feels warm and golden

She says hello with a picture-perfect smile

For four sweet lines, she wins the room awhile

[Chorus]

But Lake is mean, and nobody likes her

Turns every friendly hand into a fighter

She shuts the door, then wonders why she’s alone

Friendless at the table, staring at her phone

Lake is mean, Lake is mean

That’s the coldest truth we’ve ever seen

[Verse 2]

She takes the last slice, never says thank you

Blames the mess on everyone she knew

Laughs when somebody stumbles on the floor

Then complains that no one knocks anymore

[Pre-Chorus]

One sharp word, two more thrown for free

Now every chair is empty when she speaks

[Chorus]

Lake is mean, and nobody likes her

Turns every friendly hand into a fighter

She shuts the door, then wonders why she’s alone

Friendless at the table, staring at her phone

Lake is mean, Lake is mean

That’s the coldest truth we’ve ever seen

[Bridge]

Maybe kindness starts with one small change

Put the blame down, step outside the cage

But if she keeps cutting every tie

She’ll have an empty room and no reply

[Final Chorus]

Lake is mean, and nobody likes her

Burns every bridge, then calls the smoke a lighter

She wants a crowd but sends them all away

Friendless by herself at the end of every day

Lake is mean, Lake is mean

Could she learn to be somebody people need?

[Outro]

Four nice lines, then the truth came clear

Lake has no friends when she acts like this year after year
