Cliché

I try to be unique
But there's absolutely no way
To express my hidden feelings
Without sounding totally cliché

I try to breathe
But oxygen's caught in my chest
I guess love does that
Or maybe it's only when you're obsessed

I try to be unique
But there's absolutely no way
To express my hidden feelings
Without sounding totally cliché

I try to speak
But my voice is nowhere to be found
I feel like I'm flying
Soaring high above the ground

I try to be unique
But there's absolutely no way
To express my hidden feelings
Without sounding totally cliché

I try to back away
But I run into a wall
And the sight of you makes me wonder
If I don't want to run away after all

I try to be unique
But there's absolutely no way
To express my hidden feelings
Without sounding totally cliché

I try to grab your hand
To feel your arms around me
I can't get over you
So that's the way it must be

I try to be unique
But there's absolutely no way
To express my hidden feelings
Without sounding totally cliché

Author notes

I hope this is okay, as far as cliché goes? I worked hard on it, and the feelings expressed are genuine... *shifty eyes* You did NOT just read that!

Uniqueness is often lost in its own self. The truly unique are one.
