Fun rhythms and close harmonies add spice to this pretty rock-ish song.

It's all about an all-consuming relationship of many years ago. Man, I'm glad I made it out alive!

I hope you never hear this song
I've got to sing it just the same
And even though I got the whole thing wrong
I am not the only one to blame
And in the end there was no easy answer
Had to cut you from my life just like a cancer
Hit me like a storm that came on strong
So that I'd never be the same
It isn't on the sea that I belong
Isn't in the wind and pouring rain
And in the end there was no easy answer
Had to cut you from my life just like a cancer
You had your craziness it's true
But I always thought that it was me
I see in retrospect that you
Were chasing after things you could not see
And in the end there was no easy answer
Had to cut you from my life just like a cancer
If there were any shackles to remove
It's evident I didn't have the key
And all my testimony couldn't prove
The prisoner was due for a reprieve
We, together, let go of the wheel
And let the car go where it would
Forgoing sight, we tried to drive by feel
Realized that sense was not so good
And never was our destination real
And anyway, we never understood
Our destiny to die in fire and steel
And tear apart exactly as we should
And in the end there was no easy answer
Had to cut you from my life just like a cancer
