Lyric Cliche

I ve got a reputation of being a man with a gift of words
a romantic poetic type or so they say
but I find it hard to express the way I feel about you
without getting involved with the old cliches.

In the old cliches, it s the old cliches.

This song s begun so many times but never
in a way that you wont consider to be an old cliche.
I want to say that I need you, I miss you when you re away.
And how it seemed like fate - o here we go - the same old cliches.

It s the same old cliches.

It s not that I m embarrassed or shy, well, you know me too well
but I want to make this song special in a way that you can tell.
That it s solely for you and nobody else
for my best friend, my lover, when I need help - cliche - cliche?
Everything I want to say to you is wrapped up in an old cliche
I d waited so long to find you, I d been through the heartbreak and pain,
but of course you already know that cos you ve been throught the same.
That s why I m trying to say with my deepest sincerity
that s why I m finding it comes down to the basic simplicities
the best way is with an old cliche
it s simply the best way is with an old cliche
always the best way is with an old cliche
I ll leave it to the best way, it s an old cliche
I love you.
