medicine Lyrics

Some people are a lot like clouds, you know;
Cause life’s so much brighter when they go.
You rained on my heart for far too long,
Couldn’t see the thunder for the storm.
Because I cut my teeth and bit my tongue,
Til my mouth was dripping blood.
But I never dished the dirt, just held my breath,
While you dragged me through the mud.
I don’t know why I tried to save you cause I can’t save you from yourself.
When all you give a shit about is everybody else.

And you just can’t quit.
Why don’t you deal with it?
I think it’s time to stop.

You need a taste of your own medicine,
Cause I’m sick to death of swallowing.
Watch me take the wheel like you,
Not feel like you,
Act like nothing's real like you.
So I’m sorry for this, it might sting a bit.

Some people are a lot like clouds, you know;
Cause life’s so much brighter when they go.
And I spent too long in a place I don’t belong,
Couldn’t see the thunder for the storm.

But you won’t admit. Why don’t you get a grip?
Cause you can’t keep going on and on and on like this.
No you just can’t quit.
Why don’t you deal with it?
I think it’s time to stop.

You need a taste of your own medicine,
Cause I’m sick to death of swallowing.
Watch me take the wheel like you,
Not feel like you,
Act like nothing's real like you.
So I’m sorry for this, it might sting a bit.

Cause I cut my teeth and bit my tongue,
Til my mouth was dripping blood.
But I never dished the dirt, just held my breath,
While you dragged me through the mud.
Yeah I cut my teeth and bit my tongue,
Til my mouth was dripping blood.
But I never dished the dirt, just held my breath,
While you dragged me through the mud.

And you just can't quit.
Why don't you deal with it?
I think it's time to stop.

You need a taste of your own medicine,
Cause I’m sick to death of swallowing.
Watch me take the wheel like you,
Not feel like you,
Act like nothing's real like you.
So I’m sorry for this, it might sting a bit.
Taste of your own medicine (Taste of your own medicine).
Yeah, I'm sick to death of swallowing (Sick to death).
Watch me take the wheel like you,
Not feel like you,
Act like nothing's real like you.
So I'm sorry for this, it might sting a bit.

Some people are a lot like clouds, you know;
Cause life's so much brighter when they go...

Cover art for medicine lyrics by Bring Me the Horizon

The song is about Oli's divorce with his ex wife and how she treated him after they had divorced. She had dragged him through the dirt and told people that he had done horrible things (which were untrue) whilst he was trying to not bring it up and stay out of everything, basically just ignoring all of it.

The song in general is a wonderful theme for those of us who have dealt with similar situations. A significant other treats you like crap, whether it be physical abuse, manipulation, emotional abuse, etc etc, and you attempt to give them another chance, or you feel like maybe things can change, or you think that it was a one time thing, yet nothing changes. so you finally break it off, and they turn around and tell lies about you. They treat you as if you were the one in the wrong.

as someone whos been through that, this song just really spoke to me.
