Verse
You grew on me like a tu mour
And you spread through me like m alignant melanoma
And now youre in my hea rt
I shouldve cut you out back at the start
Bridge
Now Im afraid theres n o cure for me
No dose of emotional che motherapy
Can halt my pathetic dec line
( )
I shouldve had you removed back when you were benign
Verse
I picked you up like a virus
Like meningococcal meningitis
Now I cant feel my legs
When youre around I cant get out of bed
Bridge
Ive left it too late to risk an operation
I know theres no hope for a clean amputation
The successful removal of you
Would probably kill me too
Verse
You grew on me like carcinoma
Crept up on me like untreated glaucoma
Now I find it ha rd to see
This untreated dose of you has b linded me
Bridge to Key Change
I shouldve consulted my local physician
Im stuck now forever with this tunnel vision
My periphery is screwed
Wherever I look now, all I see is you
When we first met you se emed fickle and shallow
But my armour was no mat ch for your poison arrow
You are wedged inside my chest
If I tried to take you out now I might b leed to death
Im feeling short of breath
You grew on me like a tu mour
And you spread through me like m alignant melanoma
I guess I never knew
How fast a little mole c an grow on you
