Medicine
First to Eleven Lyrics

Some people are a lot like clouds, you know
Some people have a negative impact on your life, and they're only missed when they're gone.

'Cause life's so much brighter when they go
Life is better and more enjoyable when those negative people are no longer in it.

You rained on my heart for far too long
You caused me emotional pain and distress for an extended period of time.

Couldn't see the thunder for the storm
I was so consumed by the negative impact you had on me, that I couldn't see beyond it to the bigger picture.

Because I cut my teeth and bit my tongue
I kept quiet and didn't say anything negative about you.

'Til my mouth was dripping blood
I held my tongue for so long that it was painful.

But I never dished the dirt, just held my breath
I never spoke negatively about you to others, I kept it to myself.

While you dragged me through the mud
You publicly shamed and humiliated me.

I don't know why I tried to save you 'cause I can't save you from yourself
I tried to help you, but ultimately you have to take responsibility for your own actions and change yourself.

When all you give a shit about is everybody else
You only care about others' opinions and feelings, not your own or those close to you.

And you just can't quit, why don't you deal with it?
You refuse to change and continue with your negative behavior, why not face and address the problem?

I think it's time to stop
I've had enough and it's time for you to stop your negative behavior.

You need a taste of your own medicine
You need to experience the same negative treatment that you've been giving others.

'Cause I'm sick to death of swallowing
I'm tired of putting up with your negative treatment and behavior.

Watch me take the wheel like you, not feel like you
I'm going to take control and act like you, not letting your behavior affect me emotionally.

Act like nothing's real like you
I'll pretend like your behavior and negative treatment isn't real or affecting me.

So I'm sorry for this, it might sting a bit
I apologize for my own negative behavior, but I still need to stand up for myself and address the situation.

But you won't admit, why don't you get a grip?
You won't take responsibility for your negative behavior and need to take control of your actions.

'Cause you can't keep going on and on and on and on like this
You can't continue to act and treat people negatively, without facing consequences or taking responsibility.

Taste of your own medicine (Taste of your own medicine)
I'm going to give you the same negative treatment that you've been giving me.

'Cause I'm sick to death of swallowing (Sick to death, oh)
I can't take your negative treatment and behavior anymore.
