Our Love Is Like a Tumor

Our love is like a tumor;
It grows and grows and grows,
And that can be so wonderful,
unless it’s on your nose.

Our love is like a tumor;
It makes me want to shout,
But after six months, baby,
It’s time to cut it out.

Our love is like a tumor;
It started out with ease,
But now it feels a lot more like
A terminal disease.

Our love is like a tumor:
A surging love, so great.
But it’s become disfiguring;
It’s time to radiate.
