Some people are a lot like clouds, you know (Clouds, you know, clouds, you know) 'Cause life's so much brighter when they go You rained on my heart for far too long (Far too long) Couldn't see the thunder for the storm Because I cut my teeth and bit my tongue 'Till 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 (Clouds, you know, clouds, you know) 'Cause life's so much brighter when they go And I spent too long in a place I don't belong I 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 and on like this 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 'Cause I cut my teeth and bit my tongue 'Till 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 'Till 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, wow) 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 (Clouds, you know, clouds, you know) 'Cause life's so much brighter when they go
