Trouble with Clichés (Live)

I get a break and I find myself thinking about you
 Don't try the phone or text a message. No. So what I do
 Is...
 Grab a simple pen and paper
 Figure out what thoughts to favour
 Will it work, well, I'm not so sure
 Maybe someday, I'll coin a new phrase
 There you go
 That's the trouble with clichés
 Wouldn't you know?
 I'm having trouble with clichés
 I clear my head and I realise it sounds a bit absurd
 Still, my prose gets all tied up in other people's words
 Needing you, I'm surprised
 Is quite a thing to rhapsodise
 Please forgive my compromise
 My communiqué is what I don't say
 There you go
 That's the trouble with clichés
 Wouldn't you know?
 I'm having trouble with clichés
 There you go
 That's the trouble with clichés
 Wouldn't you know?
 I'm having trouble with clichés
