Verse

You grew on me like a tu mour

And you spread through me like m alignant melanoma

And now you’re in my hea rt

I should’ve cut you out back at the start

Bridge

Now I’m afraid there’s n o cure for me

No dose of emotional che motherapy

Can halt my pathetic dec line

( )

I should’ve had you removed back when you were benign

Verse

I picked you up like a virus

Like meningococcal meningitis

Now I can’t feel my legs

When you’re around I can’t get out of bed

Bridge

I’ve left it too late to risk an operation

I know there’s 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 should’ve consulted my local physician

I’m 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

I’m 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
