I'm so tired of pretending
Where's my happy ending?
I followed all the rules
I drew inside the lines
I never asked for anything
That wasn't mine

I waited patiently for my time
But when it finally came
He called her name
And now I feel this overwhelming pain

I mean, it's in my veins
I mean, it's in my brain
My thoughts are running in a circle
Like a toy train

I'm kinda like a perfect picture
With a broken frame
I know exactly who to blame

I never thought of myself as mean
I always thought that I'd be the queen
And there's no in-between
'Cause if I can't have that
Then I will be the leader of the dark
And the bad

Now there's a devil on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be
And he's calling me the queen

Being nice was my past time
But I've been hurt for the last time
And I won't ever let another person take advantage of me
The anger burns my skin, third-degree

Now my blood's boiling hotter than a fiery sea
There's nobody getting close to me
They're gonna bow to the evil queen

Your nightmare is my dream
Just wait until they fall
To my wicked schemes

I never thought of myself as mean
I always thought that I'd be the queen
And there's no in-between

'Cause if I can't have that
Then I will be the leader of the dark
And the bad

Now there's a devil on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be
And he's calling me the queen of mean

The queen of mean
The queen of mean

Something's pulling me
It's so magnetic
My body is moving
Unsure where I'm headed

All of my senses have left me defenseless
This darkness around me
Is promising vengeance

The price that I'm willing to pay is expensive
There's nothing to lose
When you're lonely and friendless

So my only interest
Is showing this princess
That I am the queen
And my reign will be endless

I want what I deserve
I want to rule the world
Sit back and watch them learn
It's finally my turn

If they want a villain for a queen
I'm gonna be the one they've never seen
I'll show them what it means

Now that I am that
I will be the ruler of the dark and the bad

'Cause the devil's on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be
And he's calling me the queen of mean

The queen of mean
I want what I deserve
