Mold on Fruit
Melanie Martinez

(Verse 1)
I saw you in the corner, your colors bright and sweet,
Like a peach that's ripe and juicy, oh, you make me feel complete.
But underneath the surface, there's a darkness creeping in,
Like a mold that finds a home, where the sweetness used to win.

(Chorus)
You're the mold on fruit, my obsession, my desire,
A sweetness that's contagious, but it’s wrapped in wires.
I can't let you go, even when you start to fade,
This love's a little rotten, but I can't be betrayed.

(Verse 2)
The way you hold me close, it's intoxicating me,
Like a grape that's over-ripened, oh, can’t you see?
But there's a secret lurking, in this garden of my mind,
It’s the way you cling and twist, love’s a vine that’s intertwined.

(Chorus)
You're the mold on fruit, my obsession, my desire,
A sweetness that's contagious, but it’s wrapped in wires.
I can't let you go, even when you start to fade,
This love's a little rotten, but I can't be betrayed.

(Bridge)
I chase you like a dandelion in the breeze,
But every time I catch you, there's a stinging unease.
This love's a double-edged sword, it fills me up and drains,
A lush, decaying garden, dancing in the rains.

(Chorus)
You're the mold on fruit, my obsession, my desire,
A sweetness that's contagious, but it’s wrapped in wires.
I can't let you go, even when you start to fade,
This love's a little rotten, but I can't be betrayed.

(Outro)
So I’ll cherish every moment, even with the flaws,
'Cause the mold is part of beauty, it’s my heart’s compact cause.
We're a blend of juicy sweetness, with darker tones that twine,
In this garden of obsession, forever you’ll be mine.
