Intro

Verse
You grew on me like a tumour
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma
And now youre in my heart
I shouldve cut you out back at the start
Bridge
Now Im afraid theres no cure for me
No dose of emotional chemotherapy
Can halt my pathetic decline
( )
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 hard to see
This untreated dose of you has blinded 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 seemed fickle and shallow
But my armour was no match for your poison arrow
You are wedged inside my chest
If I tried to take you out now I might bleed to death
Im feeling short of breath
You grew on me like a tumour
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma
I guess I never knew
How fast a little mole can grow on you
