my everyday drug


As the cherry of the cigarette burns so does my respect for you i used to think i loved you, but everything that you do makes me sick the favorite things about you is slowly fading away, just like my love you told me that you loved me, the warmth of your skin turns icy cold as the tears burn my skin, i cant try to fix this something out of my control, completly inevitable as the cherry of the cigarette burns so does my love for you you used to be my nicotine, my every day drug now the sight of you is so repulsive it makes me sick the smell of your orange hoodie makes me want to die as the cherrry of the cigarette burns so do i every day i sleep and dream of you yet it turns into a nightmare i used to love you and always wanted more of you now you are a bad habit im trying to quit as the cherry of the cigarette burns every thing inside of me burns the only thing that keeps me holding on is your love but I'm only flirting with a poison called love and it hurts me with every inhale as the love slowly fades your my nicotine, my everyday drug but every day it brings me farther down your my bad habit i need to quit as everything i once had burns, down to the filter
