You Grew On Me - Live

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
