This Is How You Make Me Feel

This is how you make me feel. 
I just wanna get messed up and overdose on pills. 
My brain is on fire and it's not the drugs. 
My heart ran away with who you used to be. 
And now my chest is hollow with the person you've become. 
In spite, in mother freakin' hate.
You set me on fire and now i stand ablaze. 
I can't think nor stomache food. 
I lose my appetite with the mere thought of you. 
Because this is how you make me feel. 
And i constantly wonder how i love you still. 
My soul has become empty, it ran away with the desire for your touch. 
Disregarding how much i cared, you took a knife and slit the throat of trust. 
You make me slip up. 
You make me pick the razor blade up. 
Because i can't keep up. 
Without you i tear myself up. 
Because this is how you make me feel. 
Cupids soldiers have screamed "Fire at will!"
I am here, i have lost my state of mind. 
It was drowned in the river with how you used to be kind. 
Constantly i dodged fistfulls of pain. 
Wore out myself to keep your flawless name. 
But this is what has happened many times before. 
And when you've ran back i've always dissolved to the floor. 
And this is how you always end up making me feel. 
With your sticky fingers and well practiced acting skills.
