Different?

This one is unique

Not like the ones that broke my heart
No, not like the ones that ripped me apart

This one is antique

Not like the ones whose hearts are as hardened as steel
No, not like the ones that cared not for how I feel

This one is bleak

Not as unique as I thought before
No, as low as the ones I deemed as the floor

This one is a cheat

A liar, a fire,
Just like all the others that I so desired
