Robinson bases this song off the metaphor “a taste of your own medicine.” She used to be the player but after falling in love, she gets a taste of her own medicine.
[Verse 1]
I knew it was a bad idea
Getting involved with this sort of romance
But maybe it's what I deserve
Getting attached, met my match, and it hurts so bad
[Verse 2]
Oh, but when I saw you there
I thought you'd be fine, but easy to leave
I knew it was a bad idea
I knew it was a bad idea
[Pre-Chorus]
You're the only love I ever had
That's seen the silhouette of my bed
Pouring it out, drinking it down
Tastes so bitter
[Chorus]
I'm used to ripping hearts out
Now it's mine that's bleeding
Never let my guard down
Now I'm barely breathing
Never thought I'd be the one to fall
Now I'm in my castle all alone
Thought that I was cold
But now I'm fucking freezing
Never felt alone
Now I'm staring at the ceiling, feeling
What goes around comes around
I'm tasting my medicine, tasting my medicine now
[Post-Chorus]
Tasting my medicine, tasting my medicine now
Tasting my medicine, tasting my medicine now
[Verse 3]
Karma dealt a heavy hand
All too real, like a pill I can't swallow
Before I didn't understand
And now I know how it feels to be hollow
[Pre-Chorus]
You're the only love I ever had
That's seen the silhouette of my bed
Pouring it out, drinking it down
Tastes so bitter
[Chorus]
I'm used to ripping hearts out
Now it's mine that's bleeding
Never let my guard down
Now I'm barely breathing
Never thought I'd be the one to fall
Now I'm in my castle all alone
Thought that I was cold
But now I'm fucking freezing
Never felt alone
Now I'm staring at the ceiling, feeling
What goes around comes around
I'm tasting my medicine, tasting my medicine now
[Post-Chorus]
Tasting my medicine, tasting my medicine now
Tasting my medicine, tasting my medicine now
[Bridge]
You're the only love I ever had
That's seen the silhouette of my bed
Pouring it out, drinking it down
Tastes so bitter
[Chorus]
I'm used to ripping hearts out
Now it's mine that's bleeding
Never let my guard down
Now I'm barely breathing
Never thought I'd be the one to fall
Now I'm in my castle all alone
Thought that I was cold
But now I'm fucking freezing
Never felt alone
Now I'm staring at the ceiling, feeling
What goes around comes around
I'm tasting my medicine, tasting my medicine now
[Post-Chorus]
Tasting my medicine, tasting my medicine now
Tasting my medicine, tasting my medicine now
Tasting my medicine, tasting my medicine now
