|
You grew on me like a tumour |
|
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma |
|
And now you're in my heart |
|
I should've cut you out back at the start |
|
Now I'm afraid there's no cure for me |
|
No dose of emotional chemotherapy |
|
Can halt my pathetic decline |
|
I should've had you removed back when you were benign |
|
I picked you up like a virus |
|
Like meningo-fucking-coccal meningitis |
|
Now I can't feel my legs |
|
When you're around I can't get out of bed |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 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 |
|
I'm 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 |
