[Verse 1] Take your medicine Learn the lesson Patterns repeat There's wisdom in retreat Double down To the floor Be humble Check the score [Pre-Chorus] When you attack every challenge with your venom Eventually everyone becomes immune [Verse 2] Read the room It’s not always about you Sometimes what you don’t say Is more important Than what you do Not everything’s gonna go your way If you wanna be heard You just gotta shut up Respect goes both ways They say the best offense Is a good defense That’s not a bad place to start In life and matters of the heart Old grievances cut deep They can outlive their usefulness Letting go isn’t surrender It's an invitation to something better If I could advise my younger self This is what I might say... Don't die on this hill Live to fight another day Don't die on this hill Live to fight another day The biggest challenge Is recognizing The lesson In defeat
