Andrew Stein
Virus
I held my breath and choked
When you walked into my life

You seemed so out of place
With your intoxicating grace

I only knew you courtesy
The corner of my eye

Now you're right in front of me
Read my poetry

You're sending subtle signals
That I'm failing to decode
Your smile makes my stomach ache
It's more than I can take
Oh, Monika you're making
All my defenses erode

You got a face like paradise
You make my blood run cold as ice

You're like a virus
Slowly infecting me
Pretty poison rushing
Through my heart
You're just a virus
I can't delete
I was falling for you
Now I'm falling apart
Everybody that I thought
I used to know
Changed overnight
And now they're getting into fights
Reality is broken
Scattered pieces on the floor
This isn't just a game
Anymore

You're like a virus
Slowly infecting me
Pretty poison rushing
Through my heart
You're just a virus
I can't delete
I was falling for you
Now I'm falling apart
And it was all over from the moment that I pressed start

Is this really what you think it means to be in love?
I don't understand why you're the one I'm dreaming of
You tampered with my feelings
You hacked into my brain
You've broken every rule
And only you remain
You're like a virus
Slowly infecting me
Pretty poison rushing
Through my heart
You're just a virus
I can't delete
I was falling for you
Now I'm falling apart

And you're like a virus
Uncontrolled
A dangerous and deadly
Work of art

And you're just a virus in my soul
I was falling for you
Now I'm falling apart
And it was all over from the moment that I pressed start
