There are some really nice parts to this song the best of which is:
'But at this rate every song’s a break up song to me
Sitting on the edge, I’m waiting for a friend, I’m waiting for a friend'
Not keen on the line after that, it sounds like your asking if something else is real or fake if you know what I mean, as apposed to tears?.
Something like 'to help me through this end' or not ;)
Your right about the cliches, something to watch.
I'd work on the lyrics a bit more as relationship songs can be hard to get right.
Anyway, food for thought :)
